Gah....

Please do a forum search for Raytech and try clicking on the results posts half of them aren't there as though the posts have been lost.

I get this message:

There was a problem looking up the post in our database.

Please use your back button to return to the previous page.

I'll say it again YBW, you have really borked your search facility. This was one of the strengths of the forum as you had useful information, without the useful information you merely have the ramblings of the regular few and that's no use to anyone.

What's happened? It's all gone FUBAR! This is sooooooooo frustrating.

I've just done a forum search on Raytech, and opened all the links, and none had the error message

Just tried again and only one had the error this time however, I also noticed that the formatting of the site seemed to default to a simple layout for some of the links.

Looks like I'll just have to ask the questions again.

BTW YBW how far back do these searches go?

Google will find all possible links, so sometimes it pulls up print format as well as standard. Google often won't show older links unless you put in exactly the right keywords, as it drops less popular links quite low down list, and often doesn't show them at all.

To get a fully indexed forum, ybw would have to purchase a corporate version of google, and fully index the site independent of google
