Please, I hate the searching.

Actual scenario here folks:

Typed "graphics engine" into the search bar. Expecting to see a parade of posts about hardware and performance gains, I instead see a montage of screenshot threads and 3d modeling program support topics. I mean, am I required to do an advanced search for every search I do? It was so much easier in the old forum system, before this new design. The search work(ed) wonders, now, not so much.

Is this a possible look into the future of how trainz will work?

In addition, in my search, I wanted to see if I could find if the graphics engine had been updated recently in any of the past few versions? :hehe:

Search Google using "site:forums.auran.com" followed by the search terms you are looking for.

The Search functionality in vBulletin is notoriously bad and often gets worse with many newer versions. As this has been a problem for over 4 years, it seems unlikely that it will be fixed.

Frankly, and I can say this of a few sites of which I am a member, it might be better to remove the native search function entirely and replace it with a Google link.

Thanks RRSignal. It really sucks that it's not likely to be fixed, but, oh well. Life shall go on...

As far as I know from reading threads posted by development team members the basic engine is the same, but has been tweaked over the years to "get more" functionality out of it.

Try choosing the sections you think would the best, and make sure the screenshot section is not part of the option.

I love it when the developers "fix" things. I see this all the time.

I belong to other forums and the search engine is the same. There's nothing like looking for a Canon Mark III camera and getting something on Cannon Mountain with no mention of the camera anywhere in the thread!

The Jet graphics engine had a major re-wright for TS9.

I was referring to the Jet engine, not the search engine.
