Hello,
the search button of the Forum has disappeared. Will it come back?

Yes, it will return, however, when doing some updates to the forum, I discovered a security problem in the search interface. Instead of leaving it online hoping that I get the new forum deployed before someone found it, I removed it from the forum software very quickly.
I hope to deploy an updated forum this weekend with all sorts of enhancements that we have all been waiting for.

Ok, for the time being, I added google search to the bottom of the page. This is a temporary fix.

Hm, I made our own interface to the google search. It's kind of nice right now as it will search the forum, the wiki and the manual all in one interface.
What do you think? You can also use Google's advanced search filters, such as EuGtk -Irv

Hi Jeremy,
the Google search is interesting, but it seems that older messages can not be opened. I tried your example and got the links starting with: How to close a secondary euGTK window. But I could not open the link. (URL not available). I could not open any of the messages. If I use the old RapidEuphoria search engine and enter: euGTK Mark Brown then I can read all the messages.
I tried another Google search using Win32lib. I can open the newer messages but I cannot open the older messages. I do not know if this is only a problem with my provider, although this is a big company?
So in the moment I think your previous search engine was superior to the Google Search, although the advanced search filters would be a nice feature.

You should put the search box on both the "Home" (wiki) and Manual pages, just for convenience sake.

Yes, I think you are right. When the search comes back, it'll be a nice dedicated search, you can filter through author, title, body, just wiki entries or just forum posts, etc...
However, after that search, I'll add the google search to the bottom of that search page, as it may be nice for some people to search via google, for easy translation and such.

yes, that would be nice. Currently, there is no real search of the manual, which is a bummer. I wonder if anyone is good enough w/JavaScript to save me some time? Here is the current search code:
<form method="GET" action="http://www.google.com/cse"> <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="004923656550405328555:5fzsgj0iwy0" /> <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" /> <input type="text" name="q" size="40"/> <input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search"/> </form>
Does anyone know how I could use an onSubmit event to append the text "site:openeuphoria.org/docs" to the q entry? This way, when searching the manual, you will be searching only the manual. I tried a few simple things w/no luck.
