Did Search disappear...?

It seems it isn't available right now...had to look around the old fashioned way
 
im trying to shop for a monitor, i used to plug in model numbers into the search to get valuable info, now i'm completely lost. cant find search anywhere
 
The site has been running slow and some features have been disabled to try and find the cause.
 
I can say having search gone is a royal PITA but so was the site slowness. So, I'm using this on google: site:www.hardforum.com searchterm

The results suck but for specific terms, it can help. Lots of old junk shows up though.
 
i thought i was going crazy as well, glad it isn't me.....well at least not this time

Add "2008" to your search term to get it within a specific year.
 
I have been using Google as the search function also. Not totally effective but it is better than nothing.
 
added a quick google search at the bottom of the page for the time being.
 
yeah I have been going crazy defragging deleting running anti sware and stuff since the site is so slow.This is the main site I use so I thought it was my pc running slow not the site.Well it makes me feel better knowing that it isn't my rig.The non search sucks man I wanted to look up some stuff tonight but I can't oh well back to ole google
 
Was search just slowing down the site or was it messed up all together? Abandon ship to Anand!!!....Just kidding.
 
I'd rather the site be more responsive than have a search.

The past few days the [H] has been painfully slow.
 
I didn't really notice a difference with the site to be honest, but the internet sucks here though
 
man search being kinda has kept me off the forums a bit :( I used to just search for the suff I wanted and new posts, because alot of people hate it when you revive an old one.
 
Kyle and the gang will get it figured out soon .. they always do ..

To assit them, click the ad banners a lot and send Kyle your lunch money .... so he can buy a new server to host the search function ...
 
Are there any [H]ard plans to attempt to reactivate the search function in the [H]ardforums? It sure makes the forums much more useful.

People, it's not the first time search has been temporarily suspended. Have patience, it will return as soon as the site's team feel it's best to bring it back. :)

Lol.

Yeah. I don't register for threads, so searching through my own post history was how I kept track of stuff. It is starting to get pretty tedious, though, not having one built-in.

To me, the forums perform exactly the same now as they did before. Except that now I can't use the search function.

GG. :rolleyes:;)

Yeah, but honestly...I think lacking a search feature is ultimately slowing my user experience of the forums down more than whatever that imaginary problem was doing before. *shrug*

PS- It's seems like it's been a week or two now. What's the hold up?

Apparently, Kyle spent all the [H] money on booze, and hookers.;) Needless to say, his credit card was denied when he tried to order a new server. Eventually [H] recouped back enough money from [H] users' lunch monies and leSLIe's banner clicking skills to buy a new server, so we'll be back on track in a week or two.
 
Well, since there is no search I'll post it here.

* What a good rig for Far Cry 2/Crysis? I'll keep my X2, but I need to upgrade the video card.



* I know this isn't the correct thread or even the correct forum to find information about video cards or game specs but for the people out there like Curious who actually think I'm dumb (for lack of a better word) enough to post it here, I'm not seriously expecting to find answers here.
