Heck, I even searched for "gt4" just to test, and it only came back with one result!
agreed.
maybe the search needs to be re-indexed
The search index was cleared recently, and I plan on switching it over to a google custom search which seems to be more accurate and consumes far few system resources. (Faster)

Re: New features
Tommy,
I see the new search box top right, and the google custom search box works OK-ish.
eg if i wanted to search for "sugar cube" i know i can copy and paste this text in to google :
sugar cube site:alltrac.net
like so: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sugar+cube+site%3Aalltrac.net
but i would ask you to re-index the search as i don't know if google cannot replace the phpBB search features, like search by author, 1st post , search title etc > unless you can teach us how to get better results please
thanks in advance
Gary

Ditto. This is what I loved about the previous search. I could easily scan the threads for a particular forum.

Re: New features
The search still exists. It is preferable for people to use the google search since that sucks up a lot less server resources.
The old search is still here: http://alltrac.net/phpBB2/search.php
The search database re-indexes on its own, so it will continually get better over time.

I got a message saying the board was being updated earlier today... so any news or plans to make use of the view active topics function ? : search.php?search_id=active_topics
Just enabled this feature. Should be working soon. Try going back further than 7 days for now to see active topics.
try this....

I'm not teaching you to suck eggs, but have you checked that active topics is highlighted on every forum / subforum.
kind regards
