Know this has already been raised in this forum but it is so counterproductive I thought I'd mention it once more. In the previous AB forum life search would work perfectly: type in keywords and choose from results that are sorted according to relevance.

Now for some reason I type a keyword hoping to dig up some thread I remember from 2 months ago but the top hits I get are from last week, which I suspect means it is being sorted chronologically. I know some just use google as a workaround but why should we if there is a search feature exclusive to this forum? @Michael @Sebastian can this be fixed? Or is it me who is not understanding how it works?

Thanks

    I must say I can't find anything also using it...

    What would be an improvement is (optionally) hiding recurring references to exactly the same thread over and over and over.

    I will chime in with an "I hear ya". I am starting a new thread as we speak because the information the AB search provides isn't complete or manageable. I straight Googled a few things and the links to the appropriate forum post would sometimes come up, but like the AB search tool it is an incomplete and out of context way to find something.

    I love this forum, one of my best sources of info since diving into iOS music production & everyone is cool, but gotta call it like it is...the search definitely could improve.

    I know

    It has been like this for a minute.

    It is easier to just use google with audiobus.com keyword and then whatever else I remember from thread.

    Especially as it is such a repository at this point...

    Exactly, when I stumbled on this board I was blown away. I'm sure most of us real nuts look at all the blogs (sound test room, etc) and other sites & forums but this one is really a step above.

    It's on a 'dedicated' apps website so you'd think it'd be like most other app forums- topics only pertaining to AB. But like the multidimensional & versatile quality of AudioBus, the forum is just as varied and deep.

    Oh, and JG's comment may be taken wrongly by people who think a repository is something else entirely...lol

    Yeah, something definitely went wonky after some upgrade. I'm a promoter of the 'just use google' way. Couple of reasons:

    1. Vanilla (this forum software) will never ever do search better than Google.
    2. If I got to choose how Mike and Sebastian spent their code writing hours, fixing search on this forum would be way way way down on the list! Particularly because we have an alternative via Google that will almost always be better anyway.


    Just put my keyword site:audiob.us into the box or top browser bar and go. If you only want it to search thread titles do intitle: my keyword site:audiob.us.

    Maybe good to know: the site keyword isn't limited to domains. You can give it a full path on a domain and it will only search pages from there down. Not that useful for searching this forum but handy in other places.

    Indeed, with google search, you could look for your keyword and limit it to pages indexed 1-3 months ago. Just hit 'search tools' and set date range to 'custom'. That's never going to happen with Vanilla search without a lot of time coding.

    For the more private among us, this also works on Duck Duck Go: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=patterning+site:forum.audiob.us

    If anything were to change here on the site with search, I'd rather just convert the search box to a google custom site search.

  • supadomsupadom

    Cheers @syrupcore totally agree about the coding time. Google it is.

  • JohnnyGoodyearJohnnyGoodyear

    @syrupcore Thank you kindly Professor.

  • StormJH1StormJH1

    Agree with the others saying that a Google search including "AudioBus" or "AudioBus Forum" is much more accurate than the internal search feature. Since iOS app discussion is relatively sparse on the internet, the top two hits are usually the app store page and an AB Forum discussion tree.

    Maybe having these tips as a sticky topic on the forum would be a good idea ! :)

    Which is the way it used to be... I wonder why they dropped the Google custom search?
