Default Internet Brands...quit being asshats and respond to fixing the search!

The whole point of this site is to find good information!!!!!!

I can't stand to see a new "Does this wheel fit" thread daily.

Please get your act together and start responding to fixing the search to work properly!!!!

Thanks for the polite request. I guess you don't know that there is a thread dedicated to the search function. I have moved your post there.

I have seen it. I am usually pretty polite but not sure what it takes to get the search working. I haven't seen IB respond much on the search issue except when it first got turned off and then back on.

I really don't think it is much for the members to ask for a working search feature.

Have you tried reading the thread in this forum where people have asked for help? The original search engine brought the site to its knees hen the data base exceeded 6 million posts. IB guys spent a long weekend writing a new search engine which works differently. It does work though.

NO IT DOES NOT, BOB!! It *sort of* works, and very very poorly. Not even remotely acceptable.

But I got my stickers! Which are in some cheaplooking font that does not match the logo.

I think they need to spend a few more weekends and weekdays working on the search. The search worked poorly before and now worse which is truely horrendous.

Guys, you can complain here, or post it in a thread which IB watches and tackles Search Problems. Lots of hints there on how the new search works. try here:
