Simple Search Feature

TylerDurden · 30th May 2009, 04:59 AM

Is there some way to perform a simple search for a topic in these forums?

I have on several occasions tried to find a topic that I remembered from a few days back or a specific item only to be dissappointed when I can't search ENWORLD?

Am I missing something?

I would like to know if there is any information on the Eberron Game Day module Harvest of Khyber. Something that K Baker worked on.

Yeah, become a site member (aka "COMMUNITY SUPPORTER").

It's cheap.

The Search feature is extremely resource intensive, and so is reserved for those who support the site by becoming Community Supporters.

There are ways around this - try putting the following into Google:

"Harvest of Khyber site:enworld"

I figured a forum as big as ENworld would have this feature I will look at supporting.

Thanks for the tips.

We'd love to turn it on for everyone, but the moment we do so, the resources used form everyone searching crashes the server. So we have a choice: no forum for anyone, or a forum for everyone with a search for some. We feel the latter is better than the former.

While it's not as good as the search function provided by the boards, you can always go a Google search, using "site:enworld.org" as part of the search.

I'll throw in another recommendation for the Google search option. I use it all the time.
