Theres even a search tool for games, thats good.
But the forum seriously needs a search tool. Mostly to find specific guides/walkthroughs for old games.

I see the search thing has a dropbox already, which only has "games" though, so if a search tool for the forum was already planned and isnt just ready yet, i apologise.

Regards.

It is a good idea but I think it would slow the site.

But I agree with you.

Sometimes finding threads is hard.

It would be usefull

There used to be a forum search tool up there, but it was slowing down the site so it was taken out.

Part of the problem as Agent said was that it slowed the site down more so than now, which is still slow as hell. But it was also cause the search was really broad and not well done, so you would be given irrelevant answers.

Also, refining a good search would take a while, and as klaus said, the old search was WAY too broad...

I just hope they can programme a better one. Maybe get the posters to write better titles, so that a proper search can be done like the game search.

I also would like some sort of thread search. Because I do know the name of the threads I reply to but I always forget where they were. Now it is hard to find the thread I replied to, to see if somebody replied back to me.

Sounds difficult :P

texcido, that problem would be solved with a "User CP".

Youll know if you use any VBulletin forum or something.

It is just as easy to use google. That way it doesn't slow the site down and you can get other similar things an an added bonus. We don;t need a search tool when we have the best oine just round the corner.

Yes, as pixie said. If you need to search use google for the moment.
How? Like so:

site:armorgames.com "what you want to search goes here without quotes"

Use that on google, will make your search only in armorgames.

I love this idea but i bet the people around here are going to say that it is going to lag the site so the idea will be put down.
