Search via Google?

Okay, so I'm having a problem here.  When I want to search the forum for something, be it for support, or news duplication checking, it uses just a google search instead of a custom one within the forum.  Didn't there used to be a custom search.  It's very jarring to search for something here and then be piped to google, and it totally ruins my jive for finding something on the forum. Is there some hidden setting somewhere that can switch on a search that stays on the forum website?

-Cheers!!!

-P.S. My initials are really P.B.J. Does that explain enough? :D

The search function wasn't working well so they use Google instead. At least for now.

The forum search function was a POS so now it uses google advanced search instead which actually finds the stuff youre looking for

The built in search function was causing some issues, and it wasn't very good anyway, so it was replaced with a Google search box. When we update to the next version of the forum software, which will hopefully happen later this year, we should be going back to having a proper custom search box.

 

I still think they should fix it to the forum only 3:

It does only search this site...
