I hope so. All I get is the google search which brings back web links to Pistonheads. Cant choose which forum or timescales or anything

It's temporary whilst I look at the PH search function.

If you do a full Google with siteistonheads.com and then select advanced, you'll then be able to limit it by date.

Ok, it's back and it's quicker and I fixed some other bugs on it too (e.g. find all words/exact phrase now works!).

Search is much quicker now, ta!

But I'm having trouble getting results with short phrases - I get no results searching the Porsche forum for 'RS', none on the Alfa forum for 'SZ', none on the Audi forum for 'TT', etc.

You mean I've been using those options all along to no avail! I always thought it was a bit dodgy in there .

The minimum word length that is indexed is three characters. I'll look at the implications of making it two.
