Someone mentioned "script 1" ommitted fb2k script language. I wanted to search for that string with:

"script 1"

The search function complains one of the words is too small. Yes. 1 is. WTH?

try this:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=...amp;btnG=Search

The search is word-based, not string-based.

Use google if you have advanced searching needs. It has a direct feed of the HA db smile.gif

Gee... truly, I just know it now.

How about making a sticky-thread about using Google to search? I mean, n00b's may actually try to search using HA's wimpy search engine, found that error, and finally decide to post a thread anyway.

Note: Not being nsarky there smile.gif
Digga
another method for google:

site:hydrogenaudio.org/forums ******
where ****** is any character combination


yeah, a sticky would be not too bad at all.

The site layout has been updated and google search is now the default. I hope this layout and functionality works better for most users.

There's also a tiny ad, which I hope does not annoy anyone.

I use Adblock Plus, so I don't see ads. lalala.gif
Garf
In that case, I hope the whitespace doens't annoy you tongue.gif

Opera 8 configured with the filter.ini listfile doesn't display any whitespace. lalala.gif

Uh, the elements on the top of the page seems to run into the blue bar. As soon as I got access to imageshack (my connection to that site is kinda flaky now) I'll post an abbreviated screencap.

Edit: Yay! Screencap below:

Hmm, I just noticed the new search upon reading this topic! I can confirm pepoluan's problem (I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.8 if that matters).

I don't know if any change has been made, but now (at the time of this posting) the problem has been resolved.

I am using Firefox 2.0.

If no actual change has been made, then I'll blame my caching proxy smile.gif

2.0?? Shows how much I care about keeping up-to-date! laugh.gif

I got that once too, but a hard refresh made it go away.

The problem is indeed due to too aggressive caching in Firefox.

Thanks, Garf. Updating to this new-fangled Firefox 2.0 has made the issue go away. (And may I say - the new theme is very nice!)

Thanks. Was Google Co-op considered as well?

OT, so... You should check out the "Azerty" themes... for me, "Azerty III" rocks!
