How do you search the board?
« on: May 25, 2008, 08:26:41 PM »
Is there a search function? All I see are "Home" "Help" "Profile" and "Logout" above... so is it somewhere else?

It was disabled because it was killing performance.  It was a crap search function anyway.

As a replacement, you can use google with a modifier "site:lawschooldiscussion.org" after your search term (no quotation marks).

I hate science because I refuse to assume that a discipline based in large part on the continual scrapping and renewal of ideas is unconditionally correct in a given area.

It's on the home page. Go under "Site" at the left, click "Home" and you will see a "Search" box.

which is just a google search with site:lawschooldiscussion.org

the "site:" modifier is often useful.

Hey this is a great forum. I just joined but I also was baffled by the lack of a search button maybe a link to the Google powered one on the top of the page would be helpful.

Just a suggestion,
Thanks,

Well, I suggested it and they never responded but I'm asking you. In your opinion, why do you feel they will not do it?
