Search Function

Postby Capt-Cudellez » Fri Aug 24, 2012 7:38 pm

Hey, I created a custom search that will search the 4 main English language distilling sites, may be of use if trying to track something down. Bookmark it and let me know how it works out for you.

Works for me, but looks like homedistiller.org has lost their domain! ???

I'm sure they'll put it right and the DNS will sort itself out.

I have now added modern distiller to the site that are included in the search.
That forum is really taking off, with lots of good info being shared.

I was also aware that almost every search returns lots and lots and lots of homedistiller references. I don't play on that forum as I disagree with how they moderate it, and they have edited some old threads to a degree that makes it unreadable. But they have been around a long time, and get a lot of traffic. So now when you do a search there will be 2 labels to choose from.

"No HD" will exclude all the HD content from the search
"Just Still Smart" will only return results from here.

Let me know if you can think of any other things you'd like added, or tweaks to be made.

***Jimmy, would it be okay to sticky this somewhere on the forum as I use the search a lot, and I'm sure it would be helpful to new distillers with questions.***


EDIT: BTW Artisan distiller is currently down, the issue is with the site not the search function, it will work better when they are back up and running.

Thanks Capt, will check it out.

Like you say, great tool for newbies like myself, plus it gives experienced members more time to brew and less answering the same old questions.

Thanks Mashy

I'd forgotten all about this that Capt done...it should be stuck up a corner, where it can be seen...also it would be easier to use then.
