Hello Simon, are you back? It was Clive who stained the carpet.

I try to use the search facility. eg I type in 'Border Patrol' and get no results.

I am back, I'll have tinker with the search see if i can improve that.

It doesn't seem to search all the forum, only web links.
eg If you search 'gasket' the only thing that comes up is Russell's link MGRover solutions.

I see what going on.
The search in the site header only search's the static side of the site
The search in forum menu searches the forum only
and they both fail to search the social bit.

I'll leave that with you then.

75% fixed, Search will now display results from the forum, Social bit is next

Groups , Users, Photos and Videos added to the search function

That's great Simon!

Does the picture search use the photo name or something else?
Cos most of mine are 'untitled'.

Should be description, which will be a number (created automagically) if nothing entered.

Should be mentioned that it doesn't include images hosted elsewhere.
