BiztroBill Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Just curious. Does everybody else have trouble finding anything in this forum? I searched for "color palette" (without the quotes) and got 80+ pages of random, unrelated results. And then I googled "Vectorworks color palette" (without quotes) and I got lots of useful results. Not meaning to be a grouch, but isn't it time to update the forum? Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Your search results and request for update are common. The external search engine is best way to go, at least for now. Add the phrase techboard.vectorworks.net to search term for better focus on the forum entries. -B Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 21, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 21, 2014 The search on our forums is not useful. It will be fixed but most likely not until the forums are completely upgraded. For the time being, the best option is to enter this string into a google search first: site:techboard.vectorworks.net Then, your search results will ONLY come from this forum. These results are much more robust and relevant at the moment than the built-in search. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 If you search the forum for color palette It will show all threads containing either color and/or palette. If a thread is about object info palette you will find that too. If you search the forum for "color palette" It will show only threads containing color palette what works quite well. Google will give you results according to your profile. In 95% Google will know what you want to expect but it may hide some results because it think that you are not interested Also it may find an answer outside of this forum. I'm quite happy with the way the forum search works but it needs carefully chosen search input. Quote Link to comment

Dillon Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I suggest that this info be put under the search bar in the forum pages. Too many people have wasted too much time using built in search of the forums. Or maybe you can just link to a google search that has "site:techboard.vectorworks.net" preset. Quote Link to comment
