At my request, the administrators have incorporated the Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) for this site. This search engine will make searches only for the Stamp Bears Forum.
I know ProBoards already has a search. It is powerful, but cumbersome to use. Since most of us are already familiar with Google search, you may find it easier to use.
Currently, the CSE text window is at the top of the right sidebar. I know the "Search" button may be missing off to the right or partially cut off. You can still click it if it is partially cut off. Even if it is completely missing, just hit the "Enter" key and that will submit your search.
It turns out CSE does not interface well with ProBoards (from a graphical perspective). This is largely a ProBoards problem, and there's not really a lot we can do about it.
However -- please comment in this thread: kudos to administrators, comments, complaints, suggestions...
Please keep in mind that some suggestions cannot be implemented on ProBoards because of interface problems. We've already had to nix several ideas in the preliminary testing phase. But please do submit suggestions, but understand if administration cannot do it.
Once again, thanks to administration for implementing this. I didn't do the coding, but trust me, it's not as easy as it sounds because of the way ProBoards is set up.
