Now it's gone... THEY ARE WATCHING US...
That Green is Funky, I think we lost the style I used to use during the reboot...

I always wondered if that was something that could be changed by Admin. Like the "search time limit" or whatever... if it could be lowered to 5 seconds or something instead of like 15 or whatever it is.
Otherwise... our own ILF search has always worked well for me... a lot better than any other board search engines I've used.

They are both ugly... I'm lost.
It's rare that I like standard... but here it's standard.

I don't think the Google search is showing up with those board styles.

The real action was in the suggestions thread...

Please report issues, though!

There is an option...I've told it to knock it off, but it continues to limit common words. You can't even search for FUZZ on ILF.

I mean, not like you need to, but it seems wrong.

There's no issue.
Here's a recap / summary of Google search option:
1) There was temporarily an option in the header to use Google to search the forum. But I couldn't get the exact visual congruence I wanted, so it's no longer in the header. We DO still have the new feature/option to use Google to search the forum...but it's on the Search page instead of the header.
2) There
were temporary alignment issues as I was editing the site. They're fixed. Alignment issues that were only present for a minute got cached and showed up longer for some people.

The new option to use Google to search the forum is now on Search page. Click on Search, scroll down to Google search the forum.
