Magento website: search entire site via Google

daveloodts Total Posts: 67 Joined: 2009-01-05 Belgium Ignore user	Today i noticed that the search form on this site gives the google results. It even “clicks” away from this mainsite to google. Sadly; i find this a step backwards. I liked the filtering of results between forum and the connect place and i always found my answers right away. Now, it’s pfffffff… I hope i’m not the only one.

The old search was slow, you couldn’t refine your query within 10 seconds etc. With some clever Google searches (using for example FireFox keys) you can replicate the old search in terms of limiting results to forums, connect, wiki etc. inurl: or intitle: are key advanced search parameters.

For example I’m searching for an extension, find it, and want to copy URL in my clipboard ... Signature AITOC Mods for Magento Join AITOC on Facebook for exclusive deals

The google search really sucks. You can’t select/filter what you’re searching for, and overall is really poorly done. I have tried to search for extensions but there’s no search option. How in the world should I find the correct extension?
