Forum search doesn't really work

Post by davidparks21 » Thu Jun 16, 2011 6:36 am

I guess I'm probably beating a dead horse here, so to speak, but has it been pointed out that the search function on this forum doesn't really work.

For example, search: "pam authentication"

And it comes back saying that "pam" and "authentication" are too generic of terms for it to bother using them in a real search (I mockingly paraphrased a bit there).

I fully agree with you - forum searches are fairly useless.
work is underway to switch to a new forum package, but it would be great if the searches could be fixed in the mean time. Lemme see if I can ping the right person.

At least I'm not alone out here, misery always loves some company. :)

By the way, bought your book the other day, loved it, very concise information that made the one day I spent reading it pay dividends when it came to configuration. Thanks!

(or so I assume you're the author from your not-too-subtle avatar)

Thanks for buying my book!
What do you mean, my avatar is not subtle :geek: ?
hehe, at the very least it is generating quite some traffic on my cookbook webpage ;)
