New Search Feature Added

If you haven't noticed, I've added a Google Search feature at the top left of many pages on the site. This taps into the Search feature of Google to find threads more accurately across the site than the built-in mySQL feature that is built into vBulletin.

I think this feature will allow you to find content more accurately when searching for threads or other information on the site.

Note, that the Advanced Search and the regular search is still available on the top Nav Bar. You can still search within a particular forum in Advanced Search.

You'll also need to use the native search feature if you're searching Member's Only forums on the sites.

Thanks. Um, does that mean our personal info on the signature is more easily searchable by the all knowing google? Is there a feature on PB where I can upload my picture-based signature if I have no other place to host it?

Polo Lam,

Your name is not more any more searchable than it was before, Polo Lam. It was always being searched, Polo Lam. Polo Lam, the search results wouldn't be readily available if the site wasn't inded already. I wouldn't worry about it, Polo Lam.

By the way, if you're worried about your name being indexed, Polo Lam, then I wouldn't type it out very often online.

Rich Leino is such a funny fellow. A funny fellow is he (that would be Rich Leino).

His posts (I'm still talking about Rich Leino) brighten those drab days,

when theological discussions our nerves do fray (but never steely Rich Leino nerves, at least most days)

Even his name (that would be Rich Leino), repeated regularly and with glee
can induce slumber in the busiest droning bee:

Rich Leino Rich Leino Rich Leino Rich Leino Rich Leino . . . . BZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You gotta make one of those thingys you see at the bottom of some people's posts. It's an image, kinda like a picture, of their name and church affiliation. Apparently it's not google-able.

Yeah I know, but where can I host the pic? If I link it to my other photo hosting site, they will know where to find me and index my pic as well...

It's really not that big a deal. I do it because it looks nice but if you search this site for Rich Leino then it's all over the place!

Using the nice search feature reveals that Google has these results:
