NICE!
wowza! supreme congratulations and thanks, gary!
Ooooh! Finally a tool to browse the best flame wars of the past 5 years. Brilliant work!
Hint: try searching for things like DWARF MINIATURES.
yeah, this is seriously useful.
you guys need a blog post explaining about this, or even one of the 3 'panels' on the front page.again, thanks to gary!
I'm so happy I'm delirious. Finally we have a good search feature again. The trick of using Google had a lot of problems while this search engine seems, at first blush, to be quite good. I was able to nearly instantly locate a post I wrote in March of 2007 about using Dragons optimally, something I'd not been able to locate since mid 2008.
Wow...I searched for "hogarth grapple hezrou" and it referred me to exactly the archived post I was looking for, and nothing else!
Kudos!
It is now possible to search the PRD via the site search engine.
Idea the Ignore List/Poster Filtering prompted:
Have a Search: Within this Thread option [within the current page's thread], which can search for poster(s), topics, etc. Might have to grey it out for non-forum pages like the front page, etc...
It'd also be cool if there was a search box WITHIN the prd section itself...

This is actually already on the todo list... I was waiting for someone to request it before assigning it a priority. I know some forums have long threads on a specific topic where you might want to search for a particular subject you know has been covered somewhere in there (e.g., "latest firmware update"), but I wasn't sure it'd be as useful for our messageboards. (Does anybody really need to search the FAWTL threads? :-)

You'd be surprised, he he
I have no idea what FAWTL is supposed to mean, but I *know* Search: Within Thread would be very useful for the loooong threads that tend to develop here, to be able to go find one of my OWN posts that directly addresses a recent poster's question, just as one example... Or to look for the James/ Jason post that I *know* I saw somewhere... etc...
This brings up that distinguishing between filtering for a poster within thread and filtering for content within thread could be useful, otherwise a person's name would also bring up messages QUOTING that person's name...
Anyhow, thanks for the good job getting this going!
I have no idea what FAWTL is supposed to mean...
I think it stands for "Forums Are Way Too Long", although what that means and where it came from, I have no idea. Maybe I can find out using the Search feature.

you mean this huge rambling off topic thread
the original FAWTL
It'd also be cool if there was a search box WITHIN the prd section itself...That's coming soon, perhaps as early as next week.
This exists now.
Awesome.
More power to Paizo!
Way to go Gary!
(Now if we could just get back the polling function on the messageboards...)
