Yeah, like we trust someone named "Barbaloot"?

BTW, I've changed your membership to regular so you can receive PM's if Robert wants to get back to you.

Heh - do y'all frown on Dr. Seuss fans 'round these parts?

Old search re-enabled. Would Sphinx be able to make newly added content available for search as soon as it was entered into the database? How would I set it up so that it would efficiently index by clue/player rather than by game page?

Wow --- thank you so, so much! Amazing; thank you again. I performed a couple searches and saved the results. You can revert to the Google Search.

It might take 15-30 mins for new content to be indexed. It is possible to index data against different criteria but an index to aid keyword searches is what will provide the greatest benefit in my opinion. I will send you a PM with some additional thoughts on the current search engine and ways to improve it.

It is a rather nice feature, isn't it?
