Improve the search capability

Post by Billy_JR » Wed Jun 20, 2007 2:23 pm

I try to search the forum using quotes, plus, minus, but the results are to large to sift through.
I think that is why there are so many post for some topics b/c people give up and just post their question.

Can Joomla put a G_oogle type search within the site-forum?

[Moved from Joomla Wishlists and Feature Requests to Sites and Infrastructure]

A workaround is to use Google, and use the Advanced Search and limit the results to the domain forum.joomla.org
