A minor improvement: search results will now highlight words to make it easier to see what you have found. Try putting a word (e.g., "VDIGX") in the quick search box in the Navigation Bar and click "Search". You will see what I mean.
Hope this helps!

Good plug-in that does what most browsers & WORD do naturally.
I would also like to bring up a ProBoards search issue. I cannot quite put my finger on it.
Basically, I cannot find specific posts that I think have certain keywords. Yes, there are search results with some posts but those don't include the post I am looking for. I don't know if search is somehow limited [how?], or only some results are shown [which?]. Often I have to try to remember the poster usernames and look at their Profiles for their Recent Posts or Recent Threads to find the post I am looking for.

I tried a bunch of word searches for which I had a pretty good idea what to expect, and I did not notice any surprises. It seems to be working OK. Can you identify a specific posting containing a keyword which does not surface on a search? |

I will request a ProBoards "re-indexing" of the forum to help improve the "Search" function's functionality.
Has anyone noticed problems with "Search" where it does not pull up a post that with the searched word? Yogi and I both have.

chang , good, site reindex should speed up the PB Search. I have been noticing this issue here and also at my site. As new stuff is added and edited at the PB sites, the data and search structures become complicated and the Search starts missing stuff. Site reindex is recommended at least annually for active sites. Related, I also fund that PB Search is indeed limited to to 1,000 items (posts or threads). So, it may fail to find older references to the keywords. This is NOT a bug but known issue that can he handled by specifying time ranges when using the PB Search Button (and not using the convenient search boxes at PB Home or within the PB threads), and then the 1,000 item limit will apply to the time range specified.

I have noticed some search failures again, so I asked ProBoards for another indexing. If, in the future, you have trouble finding things [that you know are here] using 'Search', please let me know, and I will make another request.
