Well, according to that feature it now searches 'Google'.
I'm aware a mod may move this to feedback and cripple my blobs but I can't decide if it's an outrage.
I want to search "BCF", if I wanted to search the biggest online search engine, I'd be on that site, not this one.
What's the deal?

Sit down and STFU before you get run outta Dodge for the outburst.
Things is tight. Cut backs. We're all in it together.

Google indexes BCF within minutes of things being posted, it's hard to find a pragmatic argument against using it for searching.

It defeated the purpose of using it for what I logged on for, and for what it was designed to do.
I logged on to PM Chris, when I searched on the old version you had option to search by poster and within 2 clicks from entering the site you'd done what you intended.
Now, it searches the archives via Google which is credible but it took longer to achieve the result. (I had to go through a thread of pure boringness to find his PM button) Time wasn't an issue for me then, but to take an in-house search facility which often works quite well and adapt it so that a globally used search engine finds stuff externally... not sure it's in BCF's interests.
I'm not knocking the idea, sure Korn's done what's best for him and the site I just think it's going round the houses for what the feature does. - saying that, I'm no less entitled for the OP then any if you's for replying.

Alternately, just use the 'find a username' popup in the 'compose a new private message' page. A distinct lack of this round-the-houses approach that you're on about.

I never did, who's who now, eh?   |
Oh, so this isn't you, then?

Seriously; it's a better search engine. If you're struggling to remember people's usernames, then the problem's with you, not the way that BCF is constructed.
I tried your search; I typed 'covdude' into the search box, and the first thing that came up was his profile. You're clearly doing something wrong.

Did you skim my post, or read it?
I had the option of his profile, I dont like the guy, I dont want to view his stats.. I wanted to view recent postings in a thread recently updated, so searching for him would have (oldily) brought up his recent contributions, not stuff from 2 years ago.
I have no issue knowing usernames and finding them, it's a new technique that will take time, of which will tell how improved it is.

I should also point out that as well as the new Google widget, the old forum search is still there if you want to use it...
It doesn't have a very big index of posts so searching by keywords is limited to very recent posts, but you can search by author right back until 2002.

Errr the new google search thing is odd.
Sometimes it's fine
But it seems to not order things by date?
I want most recent posts first D:
This search for example

I know for a fact a more recent leicester bikers thread exists, but i cant find it

Classic example of the use of Paint to highlight things of significance.
Korn may not be prevalent in the every-day post traffic but he has not forgotten any of the things learned from fifty five years in bcf.

You must be dumb.
I'm sure you post redundant shite to spice up your mundane life.
When you consider Korn had already clarified the issue, I hope you realise how ironic your post is.
Moron. (I feel pretty harsh typing that, but your post really is pointless).
