I decided to drop "Free-Find" as a search engine for the site. I was never that impressed with their results. I am impressed with this though. At random I entered "scratchbuilding trees" as a search on the new google box at left and it returned 2 pages. Both having exactly what I was looking for. Cool

Cheers,
Jim

Hi Jim

I'm all for a good search engine, because I'm the first to admit that they ae the bane of my life!

I just tried "polikarpov" on the reviews page, and the top selection was Sea Hornet (!), because of a comment posted...

2nd option was the Polikarpov review itself...

Interestingly, both were dated Thursday, January 01, 1970... have we unwittingly invented a time machine? There's a lot of things I'd like to change...

All the best

I noticed the other day when doing a search of the forums that instead of having the forum category say "Armor Talk" or "General Modeling" it now says _Forum_AR and the like. Is that just an error?

It's related to the forum name tranlations I was doing. I just need to have the forum names translated on our search page results. It's on the list.
