Just curious if anyone knows why the search function is disabled. I clicked the search icon at the top, and it says that "The search function has been disabled by the administrator." Anyone know why?

I don't know why, but I wish it was available. Could save me a few minutes every now and then.

I believe the search function is being addressed.
The popularity of this forum may have exceeded the software capabilities.

Just use Google and specify this site. Works the same way.

I just discovered that you can also search at Yahoo. Select the advanced option before searching and you can just search this forum. Worked very well when I used it.

I use the google advanced search and it works fine for seraching within the bb official forum.

Use the first four lines to define the text to search for, then specify http://www.officialforum.com in the domain area as the only place to search.

I agree that google is not the best for searching a particular site when compare to the search function on this site. Google is only as up-to-date as the last time it traversed all the pages of the site...which may not be very often.

I'm pretty good at getting google to give the data I want but somethimes, I can't get it to find posts on this site that I know are there.

Tony, it really doesn't work as well. There are posts I know are back there, that just don't show up on Google. It gets very frustrating!
