What happened to the search function?

[Mr.BeSoBeautiful]

All of the sudden the google search function won't work. I'm assuming it's due to the changes that went into effect today but i could be wrong. All i know is that it worked yesterday and today it doesn't. No matter what I search for it says there's no results. I've searched everything from atty to volt to juice which normally would return thousands if not more results. I'm not the most savvy of computer users so any feedback would be much appreciated.

Hmm... no idea. I'll pass this along.

 

[Mr.BeSoBeautiful]

I'll also add that when i search actual google it finds things. I don't know if that'll help.

Any ETA on google function?


Ok, I'm smart enuf to make a link for it, but can't replicate here, lol. It's in the General Discussion area.

+1 for the Google search not working via ECF. (all I get is 'NO RESULTS')

Is this a local issue or site issue?

For some reason this reminds me of The Smurfs movie I just saw with my daughter. There is a Google scene in it.

Still not working but I'm sure it'll work soon enough. *crosses fingers* -Magnus

site:e-cigarette-forum.com clean carto - Google Search

This was posted today and works better than my previous posted one. I cut and pasted it to my browser for use.

To use just type your search term after the .com in the google window after it opens.

Wanted to cross-post this just in case anyone else is interested. I've found this to be quite productive:

For anyone using Google Chrome (can probably retrofit this to other browsers, but I've never tried) you can do this. It makes searching ecf with Google a snap.

1. In Chrome, click the wrench in the upper right hand corner.
2. Click Preferences
3. Click the button that says "manage search engines"
4. Scroll to the very bottom to the blank row
5. In the first box type ecig
6. In the second box type ec
7. In the third box type this without the quotes:

"http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=site%3Ae-cigarette-forum.com+%s"

8. Now you can go up to the address bar in Chrome type ec, hit tab, and type your search, then hit enter. Instant search results!

If a site has a search where the term is passed via the url, you can use the site's specific search. Here are a few I use:

My Vapor Store: "http://www.myvaporstore.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=%s"
HealthCabin: "http://www.healthcabin.net/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_ in_description=1&keyword=%s&x=0&y=0"
Amazon: "http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_22?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=%s&x=0&y=0&sprefix=%s"
Ebay: "http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=%s&_sacat=See-All-Categories"

Of course, some sites do not craft their searches this way (hint hint Totally Wicked!) so you are limited to the sites search page, or the Google Site method which doesn't really get what you're after when shopping.
