STEX search broken?

[BurroDiablo 222]

Im trying to search for a good Airport pack but I just keep getting an Error...

Whats up?

I guess that means you need to notify the webmaster.

I hate the new search... Is there a way I can set it back to the old

This one is terrible, it doesn't even show the images

[Rymac91 15]

@joshiejack: It shows the images if you hover your mouse cursor over the title of the lot.

I say give dirk a few weeks to iron out the bugs and oddities...

I'd say that this new search is an improvement over the last one... I like the "other search terms" thing, and the new options. Well done dirk

Uh oh, A thread was already created for discussion on this issue, El Burro!

Always remember to 'look before you leap' quoting JSW, or Joesocwork, the ST administrator.

The new search is much better than the old search which was just a "dumb" search and there have been numerous complaints about it getting updated.

The new search will accept simple boolean statements as well as "exact matches". I'm still working out the details and occasionally the search engine will crash - that's why you will see the error message above. it's also far more accurate (though not perfect) and will offer additional search options for typos or and other possibilities that are similar to your search terms.

If you click on Advanced you will see a message that it's constantly being tweaked, so don't panic if you get weird behavior.

You can view a thumbnail if you hover your mouse over the title, again, the result displays are still being tweaked so nothing is final...

Thanks for the feedback..cheers

Thanks for the update, Dirk!

Update:

Oh, wonderful! SimTropolis EXchange search engine is up and running correctly for me once more! Great work, benevolent Dirktator!  I hope others are experiencing similar results! - Good luck!

i have been getting better results i do use search a lot thanks dirk

[BurroDiablo 222]

I noticed the search had changed a few days ago looking for GLR stations... to be honest, I found it pretty easy to navigate and yeah, It does give better results.

Its working for me again now anyway. Thanks for the update!

Think we could get a Boolean statement that'll display files that the STEX mods need to remove?

It looks nice Dirk.
