Forum Search is very primitive

  • Help. Can you consider improving upon the search capabilities? When I search the forum I get hundreds of hits, the list contains no dates. The entry may be five years old. I cannot identify until I click. Some of these old solutions are referencing code that no longer exists in the current version. Very simple functionality to add sort by date, etc. Cmon… with such a robust community of developers–can’t we make the search robust? Thanks

    Unfortunately, the search is powered by Yahoo, and that’s just the first weak link. Use a Google search structured as such:

    site:www.ads-software.com/support/ search terms

    You can use the search tools on the left sidebar to filter by date range.

    The search tools are part of Google. Try the query above at Google, you’ll see them.
