Hey what's the deal with the search function?

I've been wanting to search for some previous discussion topics for a couple of weeks. Each time I go to use the search function I get this:

Sorry. The search function has been disabled by the administrator.

I keep expecting the function to come back on line... it hasn't. What gives?

I'm guessing it has something to do with hardware resources -- a search function is very processor intensive and can cause performance problems if the hardware isn't beefy enough.

I believe Brad has mentioned that it is disabled. That's all I know.

There's a thread down below somewhere that explains everything. You might have a hard time finding it, though. The search function isn't working.

Unless you want something really recent, you might be able to find it in google. You can limit searches on google to single websites if you like.

In the search box, type site:officialforum.com followed by your search terms.

Example:

site:officialforum.com charge double block blarge

Yeah but why can't you use the search function to find it?

Ahhh just bored. If I hear LeBron James just one more time my head will explode....

I heard that Lebron had a great game last night. Nice passes, and even his shooting looked good.

So. . . did it work?

Yeah, I was just watching highlights on the TNT pregame show. Sounds like your namesake Sir Charles likes Lebron quite a bit...at one point he said "he's just a kid, let him have fun & enjoy his $100 million". Speaking of Barkley during one of the ALCS games I switched to tnt to see the Lebron Cavs play a preseason game. It was half time and Chuck was saying "Aint NOBODY watching this game, not even Lebron's Momma".

Charles is cool.
