Can't search forums
Wednesday, March 19, 2008 by RedBuzzard | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Everytime I try to search the forums I get a Google window and this is what shows up in the search box "(word I'm searching for) site:forums.sinsofasolarempire.com". Anyone have any idea what's going on??

Take you mouse and move it over the first letter 's' in sinsofasolarempire on the newly launched google page
Holding down the left button on the mouse drag the cursor to the end of sinsofasolarempire.
releasing the mouse, type wincustomize
Press the enter key on the keyboard.
So if youwere searching for zubaz "zubaz site:forums.sinsofasolarempire .com" becomes "zubaz site:forums.wincustomize.com"
Holding down the left button on the mouse drag the cursor to the end of sinsofasolarempire.
releasing the mouse, type wincustomize
Press the enter key on the keyboard.
So if youwere searching for zubaz "zubaz site:forums.sinsofasolarempire .com" becomes "zubaz site:forums.wincustomize.com"

But I don't want the google page I just want the wincustomize page with my search results in it. 
I did what you suggested and I still end up on the Google site.

I think the WC search is going away. Google does a better job with less effort form the WC devs. they can use their resources elsewhere on more cool stuff.

We are working on correcting a major problem we encountered with our in-house search functionality. For the time being, searching is essentially "off" as we work on the problem.
