Try to SEARCH FORUM, never works. IDEAS?

Post by Christopher »

I've tried searching these forums several different times over the last 2 1/2 years without any luck...

Is it just me any my computer, or does the search feature work?
I know that this would be one the most used feature on this site if it worked. So much information is dispelled under unassuming subject lines that makes it nearly possible to find all this needed info for this life upending injury.

I know that this is incredibly important for newly injured individuals attempting to seek information and help.
I wish there was a way to self categorize these questions and answers into topic areas for later retrieval and usage. Maybe with a simple list of possible boxes to check beside an entry while you are writing it. -
Eg. =PAIN =SURGERY =DR, =DRUGS =SPORTS W/INJURY =TRICKS =DEPRESSION, etc. etc.
If a box is checked, that entry can be than be put into a specific catagory that wont be lost in the years and years of entries.

I'd be willing to donate financially what ever is necessary to help get this functioning. Because I know from personal expeience, getting the right information can be the difference between life and no life.

This website has already been a tremendous source of help, I'm just trying to get that help a little quicker if possible.

I will pay CASH to who ever gets the SEARCH feature working for this site and the people that desperately need the information that could be readily available to them but isn't because it is mired in the myriad of posts.

PS tell me where the server is and I'll hire someone to go out there and make this feature more functional than my limp arm.
