Need you all to test the Search function and report back - FAST.

search.php

Mix it up some, try stuff you KNOW was posted (but not something dumb like "240sx" please... that won't help).

Tell me what you searched, how it worked.

Searched "camping" and got results in the form of several posts with the search word highlighted.

Searching "fried chicken" brings up tasty results.

Well it looks like most the threads that weren't being added to my watched topics show up now... That is promising.

Better to test searching for newer stuff that would have been added since the server switch, or is the problem with everything?

Looks like it's catching everything from before and after the switch (according to my test file).

Keep in mind it'll index everything either daily or twice daily... So brand new posts might not show up (but then again, those are typically on the current page and not buried yet).

This is huge. Think our webd00d may have nailed it. :)

Closing this one for the night. Let us know if you guys find any real glaring omissions.

This, coupled with this kickass Google search tool we're installing, should be able to find anything and everything anyone would ever want to find.

Big ups to OB1 for this effort... Considering he knew nothing of Zeroforum, had NO support, no insider info, and no access to the back-end of ZF software, and somehow made it mesh with phpBB, is amazing in itself.
