The serach facility
Sep 5 2009, 5:54 AM EDT | Post edited: Sep 5 2009, 5:54 AM EDT
When the search function be available again? I'm worried that people aren't finding my wiki because they can't search for wikis using keywords of interest. I have already established that a google search is unhelpful as my site is buried in the results. Do you find this valuable?    
Keyword tags: None (edit keyword tags)

You can always go to Google and type "site: wetpaint keyword" (I think thats the search term) and I the place of keyword actually put a keyword.

Also in the right hand corner if you click ">> My Wetpaint" a Wetpaint site search bar can be located there. You will see it as a gray box that will say "Search All Sites." Like the previous search function on the homepage just type in a key word or a specific site name and it will come up on the list. Do you find this valuable?

that doesnt work, i tried.

but when will it be ready again? cause search engine sites come up wth many results to the point that some sites just cant be found. i havent really gotten any new members in a long time other than this one person who keeps adding new accounts for no reason...

Are you asking about the Wetpaint search, or a search engine such as Google or Yahoo? Do you find this valuable?

Thank you Alex.

The new search engine displays only top results. If your Wiki isn't unique, it will not be picked up.
