Just to clarify: IB has no plans on fixing the steaming POS they call Advanced Search

I don't see why? It tends to be non-fun in many other sites with the previous versions of this format in use currently.
Why stress yourself and face a premature death? You have a bike, ride it. Thought the hokey-pokey was all that and tapshoes.

agreed.
the search function is crap. it used to work fine.
the member list is also crap. you can no longer find threads a user started. there is no longer any auto-complete for nicknames (meaning you have to search for complete and correct spellings of the user name)
I could go on and on about the stuff that was fine before, and is now not.

I haven't seen any recent updates regarding the Search functionality. I don't know the size of the development team working on vB4, or where on the issue backlog the search functionality is. Tom has much more of a direct line to the development team and will hopefully stop by when he can and give an update.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Actually, I'm currently in the hospital with pneumonia, and haven't had a real chance to follow up on this thread.

1. You're starting to gripe like a political blog, which isn't good in your own thread. Namaste, Botto.
2. Email digesting finally got me to the right post! I wasn't logged in, so we'll see in a minute.
3. Pneumonia is ROTTEN. It can kill a lot faster than my father's lung cancer, which is why he's going to Seattle for chemo. He quit 13 years ago and it's very small and new so we have a lot of confidence the Navy that gave him a career skill will be his ticket to fight.
You, me and the internet are fairly blessed and after 31 years of computer use I can tell you an asynchronous Java exploit to an email sysyem of a major search site is probably worse.
Set their upgrade back TWO YEARS...
PS I just finished rebuilding this dinky HP MATX with 95+ GB on 900 MHz AMD Duron 513 mb PC100, XP and SNAP it's not bad. Work with it
PPS I'm on your side also, Botto. I have crossed my fingers the last couple of times you were banned and hope you will remain for a long, long time. DQ1954 on the other hand was mildly strange and stuff but I never saw the banana plantation coming

EDIT: Once logged in you are again sent to #1...now THERE'S your question!
"Why does it work not logged in yet fails once you are"?

botto, give me specific cases, so I can make my case for an alternative. Instead of "Steaming pile", why not give me specific failures? I already know the shortcomings, but need additional observations for me to justify the proposal I am trying to push through, because it's not revenue negative, but it will fix the situation. I need to sufficiently justify why they should spend the money.

here's one small example -
when it worked, the old search engine could give me precise results.
such as:
search: botto
where: road cycling.
when: most recent.
show results as: posts.
that way i cold see if someone had replied to a thread.
