I know we can use evesearch but it is often down. I am sure there is some clever reason why CCP cant provide a forum you can search on like the other million forums out there

Edited by: Vir Hellnamin on 15/01/2007 17:04:03 There is Search Bar on top right - too bad it usually gives threads from 2003 as top hits.
Eve-search, simply the best. (too bad I cannot figure out what's wrong with multi-word search time-outs...:)

I'm guessing the reason is that they are quite busy managing the game, and working on new content. If they could afford to hire someone just for forum overhaul, I believe they would. But just because they are making good money doesn't necessarily mean they can afford to staff for every secondary project. It's a bottom line world, and a better forum doesn't immediately translate to profit.
Still, there are much worse forums out there.

The difference here is that we're paying...
Search capabilities, list of my threads, PM, are all missing.
Never saw such a bad forum and usually they are for free.

OT and about EVE-Search, I was playing around a bit today with RAMdisks and that boosted my speeds about 40 times, so EVE-Search could be boosted nicely except I'd have to built a new machine for the purpose, which doesn't come cheap out of the box. Raise me some $2000 and I should be able to whip up a nice speedy database.

You'll encounter many such "why can't CCP...?" question like this if you stick with EVE. You learn to just grin and bear it.

I was not whining about eve-search.com - since it beats the Google(TM) search of eve-online.com by 10-0.
I was actually whining to myself for forgetting the syntax used in eve-search.com and cannot recall how to make effiencient queries - thus always timeouting.
Is it regexp's or some for off SQL(sp?) or some free-form syntax?
Also, thanks once again for eve-search, I do "over"use it when finding the answers to all these FAQish thing in New Capsuleer forums. -- V.H. |

Actually the timeout problems is not you doing wrong, the problem lies on my side. The database is too big and my hardware is not fast enough (running sql with full-text searches and sqlturbo). So until I get new hardware it really doesn't matter how you run your queries, but if you get timeout just hit refresh and it should have at least half your query cached already.

nothing like doing a "sort by date" and sometimes getting threads of 2003 first, sometimes those of 2007...
