We are in the process of improving the search functionality of the HAMB and it might be up and down for the next 24 hours... the rest of the site should be trouble free...
as you search and run across errors, feel free to list them here... we haven't got all the bugs out obviously...
Cool !! One thing i have noticed in the past was that i cant search for 3 letter words or anything smaller. I use a mac with firefox Thanks Ryan L
The 30 second thing has always been there... We might bring it down some... Searching is REALLY expensive on my end... The "three letter" deal is being fixed now...
+1 it'd be nice to search for stuff like 390, 9" and such if possible... but I know that might be a PITA.
I dont know how REALY expensive translates, but I know I do a lot of searching, and the 30 second thing is kind of a pain. I know this forum doesnt require you to become a paying member, and it may not be technicaly possible to remove the 30 second wait for just alliance members, but I think with the addition of stuff like the alliance program (I remember a few weeks back, mention of there being 700+ members, that $35,000+ this year), money saving features like the 30 second wait between searches could be gone. Im not trying to start anything, just my opinion.
wahoo... I was curious what was going on. Did a search for the "Village Idiots"...and nothing came up. It frightened me.
