google zoneminder.com site search fails - why is that?

Post by bs27975 »

A google search of '"storage location" site:www.zoneminder.com/forums' reveals no hits.

A forum search reveals hits.

Why might that be?

(Forum search doesn't appear to search by phrases, so being able to search via google is of interest.)

Can someone please look into this?

The forum search is hard to use.

Can someone look into this. The content in the forums as an is almost useless without it being searchable by google.

Hello all. I used the forum's search feature. The search feature was not useful. Instead, I was led to completely unrelated forum posts. At this point, even bee eye enn gee would be better. But seriously if goo gull searches worked, this would be a non-issue.

And now for some blatant filler so that the web site ymaps filter doesn't decide that I am as pammer. This is taking FOREVER to post on account of that sputid smap filter. Jeepers, this is hard to confuse. I think I need a beautiful wife and a large automobile so that things can be the same as the ever were. This is heading into the "TLDNR" territory that we all fear. What the heck is this stupid smap filter looking for anyway?

Oh emm gee what the heck does one have to type here to not get flagged off? :idea:

phpbb has accounts for search bots, I suspect something is wrong with them. Robots.txt is not restricting the forum search, but here is what google sees.

I will talk to Kyle see if he has admin access to forums.
