this "new and improved" search box that doesn't do as much as the old one...

When you arrive at the second stage you find the old, familiar search is there just as it was.

When you arrive at the second stage you find the old, familiar search is there just as it was.

Not quite, it doesn't have "by poster" or "by keyword" in it anymore.

Those functions can be found in the other search window.

I've only got a couple of minutes... I have to sign off FR until probably Sunday night...

Jim Robinson gave me some invaluable instructions on how to deal with the new system last night. Please do a search on my or Jim Robinson's posts to see his comments:

Type this in the search box (upper right): by:JimRobinson

Then click on the "Full" tab to see his full comments.

Two other good tips I learned last night:

Search by TITLE (I think right now it sorts on KEYWORD only, which is a pain): Type in: title:Nuptials (I was looking for the “Nuptials for the Warrior Nurse” thread)

This is a good one: Delete all wording in the search box (you probably see posts:* there now) and hit Go. (In other words, make the search box blank and hit Go.) You will be pleasantly surprised to see the old FR search box that we all know and love, with the drop-downs.
