All of the search functions are supported by Google as a plug in to the site similar to the ads. From my experience Google has the best search technology available so I'm not sure why it is not finding things the it once did.

Glad to hear I'm not alone ~ I've searched for some things lately with no luck, and I used to get everything I was looking for from old ROTW threads....didn't occur to me it could be internet related, and not just me losing my mind.
I hope it gets back to the way it was for searching.

There has to be some sort of limiter in action. It defaults to commercial ads very close to the first 2 or 3 hits. It is not as fully functional as it used to be.

I mentioned this awhile back. Something has definitely changed.

It's not working well for me either.

Does anyone remember the thread about a woman that came running out of the flooring store over in Rim Forest to scream at someone parked in her lot? The lady was irate that she had parked in front of her store to patronize another store in the area.
No matter how I searched, I could not find that thread anywhere.

Carnut, if I remember correctly, a person going into the auto supply store parked in front of a realtor's office. A person from the realtor's office caused the scene.

As
I recall the lady from the Next Agency came on and refuted the misrepresentations by the offending parker. She explained why a new business with 2 assigned spots cannot allow hit and run theft of a basic business asset (parking for customers) just because some bimbo in a hurry has to run into another business. She was rational and correct. The OP was a shrieking maniac who needed a chill pill and a lesson in manners.

I only read the initial comments on that thread and Ron is probably correct.

yeah...no sense in fighting it. He's right more often than he is wrong.
Damn it!!!!

go to their thread and sing kumbaya with us in honor of them..

Cowboy, nothing in this thread is mean-spirited. We're all joking with one another.
It's tragic that Mr. Mainer is not doing well, but please keep your comments in that thread.

Is ROTW planning on fixing the search engine feature?

Hi All,
I've noticed that Google has increasingly provided poorer search results on the site. We've begun working on a local search feature that will provide users with detailed searches of discussions, articles, and classifieds. We're hoping to have it ready to beta in September.
Thanks,
Scott

Good to know Scott, I thought it was just me!
Woo Hoo! I get to correct Ron!
