in reply to Ideas for changes to the site.

  1. As I use the search box quite a bit, I think it would be better if the user had a setting like "Search box goes to Super Search", link would be annoying because I put in node ids, and want to go straight to the node
  2. ++ this one is cool :)
  3. no opinion

    Another possibility is one box and two buttons. One to take you to the "Search" node (or node id searched for) and one to take you to the "Super Search" node.

    FWIW, I suspect that the biggest reason that "Super Search" isn't as easy to access as "Search" is because of the additional load it places on the server in searching through all the text in all the nodes.

    If you feel a node deserves a "--", please reply to the node or /msg the monk with the reason for the "--". Without guidence as to what was wrong, be it sloppy thinking/posting/formatting, didn't RTFM, whatever, it's much harder to correct a mistake and learn from the experience. TIA!

    Well you wouldn't put the super search link on searches that went straight to a node.

      That would also work, but I would think it would be more difficult, but really I don't know
