New Site Search Engine (beta) - 8/9/2004 4:55:16 AM

After the site re-design, we have implemented (if you do not already noticed it) a search page, accessed through a link at the left of the top navigation toolbar.

We have also developed a completely new search engine located at:

/Sections/Search/DetailedSearch1.aspx

This is in beta right now and the final version will be similar to what you see know, with some cosmetic improvements. (The existing colors are being used mainly for distinguishing logically the various layout parts.)

Please submit any found bugs here for helping us to improve it.

There is currently a problem that prevents searches containing only common words (such as: the, a, me, etc) from taking place.

We are working towards resolving this.

For now, you can test the new search capabilities, anyway, by performing more complex searches...

There is an indication for this case, so that the user can change his options.
He is also informed that using common words in his/her query will not result into any results.

We have now implemented the new search engine as the default.

All parts of our site are now searchable.
This is a mjor improvement over the earlier (much limeted) implementations).

We also welcome any suggestions for farther improving the new search interface.
