search doesn't work

[thirtyonebravo]

i just wanted to double check info on carry in the convention center in philly, and put in "convention center" into the search, and it states there are no results found. No I KNOW that is incorrect, I have seen posts and threads on this topic.

I was reconfiguring the custom searches, it should be fine now.

try this, go to google or any search engine and type in this format...

convention center site:pafoa.org

And see what comes out.

Naturally it could be any search site:pafoa.org

I know that I could use some help now that "our" search is now gone.
(I had finally started to figure out how to use it too! LOL)

thanks!!!!!

I really, really don't like running my searches through Google's permanent Total Information Awareness-like database. My $0.02. Any way to keep the old search alive as well? Thanks.

Sorry, no, the built in search is inefficient and a potential liability to the server.

Just don the tinfoil hat and you should be good to go!

LOL, yeah, you can't make everybody happy all the time, but you're doing pretty well

These guys are wearing tinfoil hats, too, but if you look into their backgrounds you would find some professionals who know quite a bit about such matters:

Their backgrounds ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_...ation_Research , see Key People ) are pretty well known. If you find their gripe reasonable, they have a google scraping search bar for your website:

Just a potential option if you find any interest.
