Howdy all,

As everyone is so fond of telling everyone else to go and use the search function, maybe we can make the search function more "functional"?

I recently purchased a 2002 SE/SC, and found myself here.

I frequent alot of car boards, and like most of the others boards I'm on, the search function is great when looking for info about a problem you are having. Chances are that If you've had a problem, it's likely that someone else has had the same problem, and has started a thread about it.

The PROBLEM that I have with XOC's search function, is 2-fold.

Firstly: It would be nice to be able to search all the categories at once. I know that this would likely find alot of results, and take longer, but at least you wouldn't have to try to guess where your answers might be. That's been an issue for me, between the warranty section, and problems and annoyances section.

Secondly: Using the search function, I found that what returned was alot of dead links. As in, I look for info about the supercharger, and I'm returned with several hits. When I click on the link, with easily 75% of them, I am told that the link no longer exists. That's pretty frustrating when I'm having issues with my SC. I know that someone a while ago started a thread about their problem, but it has since been deleted, so I have no idea what was said in the thread, if their was a solution etc.

My suggestion, would be to either not delete posts (space issue though), or remove the title of the thread from the search DB.

It's really annoying to get a bunch of hits on a topic that you are looking for, but they all turn out to be useless.

Anyone else had this problem at all?

I use the search engine alot, because it's there, and I like to get as much info about the vehicle I'm driving.

Thanks!
