I made some changes to forum searching. An advanced search feature is now included at the top of the search results to let you fine-tune your search to get better results. The forum search engine is also getting up-to-the-minute updates now (or at least it's on a 5 minute delay).
Additionally, you'll find that the Search menu option under the Photos menu has *finally* been implemented.
I suspect there may be some intial problems that people will find, so please let us know if you see anything that's off.
Friendly reminder: You can actually use the Keywords field in your portfolio manager now. :)

You have made me so very happy today... I am coming up with a few "this user/photo no longer exists" hits though.
Quick question ... how long after change of the photo details does the search start picking them up. That was a bit convoluted. I have added a couple of keywords but the pics are not being picked up in the search. How long before they will be ... or the index is rebuilt?

Like with the DPCPrints search, updates will happen nightly. I felt that the extra overhead for image searching wasn't necessary. I did fail to mention in my original post, though, that forum searching has *live updates* now.
This means I should have used keywords, huh. Well, should we ever get a rainy Sunday around here (ohpleaseohplease), I'll type in descriptions on the sorta good ones.
Another question. Does the search make the disticntion between singular (cat) and plural (cats) and different tenses (rain, raining, rained)?
After running a search on "hummingbirds", I got both plural and singular tenses, so I gather that it knows to cross-reference, which is nice given the limited text space we have for them.
Yay!! Fantastic! I like how it gives the name of the challenge it was entered into, if applicable. Helps some of those thumbnails to make more sense if you know what the person was aiming for!
is it just me or do the results show photos in workshop folders? aren't these folders meant to be hidden?
It should only show challenge entries in workshop folders. And if you've recently moved something to your workshop, it will still show in the search until it gets reindexed (nightly). If you really want to hide something, you'll need to specifically hide it in your portfolio manager.
