Maxxius Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Suggestion is simple, please somehow incorporate google search in IP.Board. I know there is a mod that does that but honestly I believe IPS could come up with something more than a popup. Just giving a rough idea here. Others can post their suggestions as well.

GreenLinks Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 IPB already offers two different Search Capability. I personally don't think it is needed at all. Anyone who want this should implement as an addon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Problems with using Google search: If a string is anywhere on the page (not just in the content posted) it would be returned. For instance, searching 'logo' would return every single page, because the string is used on every page in the logo image alt tag (last I recall at least, but it's a generic example anyways). Google search is unable to search content it can't see. You'd not be able to search in moderator or admin forums, hidden categories in other apps, etc. You can't use meta-data filters. e.g. not filtering by category, or searching for something and specifying who was the author.

sobrenome Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Should be at least one of the core options, just like the addon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avro Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 This should be left to a third party addon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
