How is the GFY "Search" set up ?
 

ive been wondering about this for awhile....

my name "shemp" is mentioned in this thread many times....
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=897103

but when i do a search for "shemp" that thread doesnt show up at all.
and neither do many other recent threads ...

so how does the GFY search work ?

or when you search for created threads by username..

i think they dont index it regularly

I think it's like kids with washing dishes... if they perform bad enough, they won't be asked anymore.

how does it work?

like shit

It takes awhile for the new threads to be included in searches.

god damn i havent seen you in ages, then again i haven't been on boards forever
You running a new system now after selling the bling one?

you are nobody

HAHAHA, I like that answer LOL

I guess the 'not updated yet' answer makes the most sense, but then again I would've figured it would've been a feature that operated much like the "find" feature in word or windows, not requiring regular updates... *shrugs*

SQL queries.

maybe so, but i'd like to know how the search is setup...

thanks woj, thats about as helpful as one of my 'congrats to the winners' posts ...

It has been jacked for about a year now. I mentioned it long ago but no one seemed to care.

i think you are right ...

It's been more than a year. In fact I think the broken search is one of the reasons for GFY's decline. You can't find any biz threads, you are limited to the first few pages of trash.

nobody really seems to care about anything do they

Oh come now, that's got nothing to do with the search feature LOL

To be honest, upon my return I thought this place had improved a great deal from where it was a couple years ago.

One thing that bugs me is if you search for something and no results are found, that page comes up instantly but you still have to wait 2 minutes or whatever to search again.

I have noticed many things that aren't indexed also which can be a good thing sometimes

i notice that when is did my last search for Shemp

let me simplify it for you...

I find threads a little easier by doing this:

Google.com > site:gfy.com "search whatever"

thats fine if you are looking for posts from 5-8 years ago..i was hoping to be able to see some current results..
