turkey -> Maybe a tech suport issue? (5/18/2011 12:00:12 PM)
Hi. Has anyone else found that for the last heaven only knows how long, the search facility in the WitP forum has not been working? [X(][X(] Is there any plan to fix this?

Do a google search with site:www.matrixgames.com/forums/

The search function has always been, shall we say less than optimal.

That is my experience also rtrapasso.[:(] So the search really is broken and it’s not just that i can't make it work!! Maybe the technical wizards at Matrix would be able to dump the old forum datafile into a spread sheet and put it somewhere we can access it, so the answers that are contained therein are not lost to the current generations of WitP players.

Don't be bashful about asking questions. We all did and do as there is always something new to learn.

As I noted earlier, Google works fine. Use site:www.matrixgames.com to limit the search to www.matrixgames.com.
