Thoughts on SJ's search engine

I prefer the old way.
I at least like the probablility factor, although neither way sorts by most recent. For example, a quick search of "albom" (no reason, just first that came to my mind) brings recent posts of specific posters first. Not a search I would think of first.

 

Yeah, normally I love everything Google but not at SportsJournalists.com

 

I think the google search doesn't sort as well and I like the old search capabilities of searching on one board and by thread title, so I voted against it.

But now that Webby says we can use the old search, I figure you should just leave it.

 

I definitely prefer the old way.

 

I for one welcome our new Google overlords.

 

The google is omnipresent.

I voted for it to stay.

 

I also would like to see the default changed. As for the existence of the Google searching, I'm fine with it. I have a regular Google search built into my browser, but it's a plus to get the Google approach to searches within SportsJournalists.com.

 

The regular SportsJournalists.com search seems to find many more results than the Google search

 

OK, maybe I'm dumb, but I don't have a search bar at the top of my screen. It's there before I sign in, but it disappears (along with the google ads) when I'm logged on. What setting do I need to change to see the search bar?

 

Not sure what to tell you on that one... the search bar is not connected at all to the Google ads and how they are blocked for SJ Subscribers.

 

Let's just go with the "I'm dumb" option.

 

Webby, I'd like the Google search a lot more if you would change its default setting from "Web" to "SportsJournalists.com."

I have a search bar already in Firefox that's preset to Google; I don't need another one.
