Google Custom Search for ELI Forums

[Matthew Chan]

One thing I love about this community is the brainpower of its members.

Because the ELI Forums has around 5,000 posts nowadays, it can be unwieldy for a newcomer to find and research information.  The discussion forum's default search function has limited capabilities.

Active contributor SG offered a very simple suggestion of using Google to conduct local site searches which is brilliant. I agree that Google's search features are better the the discussion forum's default search function.

In that spirit, I have added Google Custom Search that is specifically configured for tight searches of the ELI Forums.  That search bar is located immediately above the Paypal Contribution text. The discussion forum's search function is still available as another option in the upper right corner in the web banner area.

Use whichever search tool works best for you. Use one or both.  They are free.

Thanks SG for the simple but great idea.  It is yet another incremental improvement to what we have so far.

Thanks Matt!
There's some much great information on the forum.
Much of it is even researched and referenced to actual cases and articles.
Thanks for the fast action that you took to bring this collection even closer to hand.
