Search Engine?
 

Is it me or is the search engine on RCU lousy?

RE: Search Engine?
 

It is bad, the only way to find some subjects is to browse each forum manually, like in the days before computers.

I have posted two subjects on RCU, Model Aircraft Starting Bench and Field Work Table, neither one ever shows up on any search. They don't even show up with a partial word search or Subject only search. They are both in the Clubhouse, but they won't even show up in a search in that forum.

They say they are "working on it."

I went to Google, typed in "RCU Field Work Table", found your thread right away.

So, I seldom bother with RCU's "search function".

Dave,great idea.

I just searched on RCU for Syssa 60 and came up with zero results. Found the link on Google.

RCU must have the worst programmers in the world. It should not take months to fix the search problem.

Maybe they should just provide a link to Google for searches and save time and money.

This is almost as bad as when I bought Microsoft Office and the only spell checker they provided was in French. That would have been great if Ispoke French, or lived in France, or had any reason to use French. Had to use a third party spell checker to get English.

Heh... have a look at the extreme lower right corner of this page.

The suggestion about Google was good, but instead of making RCU a keyword, type in "site:www.rcuniverse.com" as a keyword. That will force Google to search only RCU for the other keywords. Works for any site.
