RE: *** ADMIN: Beta testers needed

I am not experiencing any really noticeable improvement in speed over the current search (maybe its everyone hitting the server at once).

I do like the Extended search options. But I would like to see the In condition to have a default to a title and body, not whole document. If I search on the terms "equal weight Index" then I am getting many matches ( I see matches to the tool bar links, etc.)

I DO LOVE the advanced search term capabilities (see help in the Extended search).

Is there a way to combine the title and body as one search "In" option? Using the Whole body captures too many results.

I prefer the stars to mark relevance. Its quicker for me to scan for the images than a bolded number. After a certain point I will stop using the search results if the stars get to two or one. This is more difficult with the relevance as a numerical value.

I do like the fact that I do not get script errors popping up from the yahoo tools (my IE is set to trap script errors for our own development).

I hope you can replace this with the current search soon.


Thanks, Matt

Folks:

I'm experimenting with a new search engine and need a some folks to help test it.

If you're interested in helping out, please go to http://urlq.us/searchtest and try some searches.

PLEASE use that URL, as the actual URL may change at some point and I'll update the short URL to reflect the change.
