"Search This Forum" function? -And petsitter fee questions.

girlzilla Jun 02, 2003 12:01 PM

How much do people pay their petsitters, or charge to watch other people's pets? I know I asked before, but it was in with a whole bunch of other ramblings. I would rather just get someone I know personally, but there is nobody I trust with Bud that lives close to me. Oh, Kamido, I did see your response, thank you- my roommate doesn't really like Bud, is never there, and sometimes leaves outside doors WIDE open- not really the type to take care of an ig. Hopefully my next roommate will be!

Also, what happened to the "Search THIS Forum" field that used to be at the top of the posts? There is now an option called "Search Forums", so I tried it with the words petsitter, pet sitter, petsitters, and pet sitters. There were no results for any of those! I really just want to search this forum, not all of them. Or is that function only on the archives? Help!

The "Search by Content" option had to be completely rebuilt in order to keep the "speed" of searches up and the load on the server down. It was one of those things that caused the really bad slowdowns on the forums back in February. That is why there is no option to search content in the individual forum versus all forums. Those searching can refine their searches using the and - options, much like one would have to do at any of the search engines out there on the 'net.

Right now the search catalog is updated about once a day and is built upon 3 variables:

1) Message Content (eliminating words under 4 letters)
2) Topic/Subject
3) Username who entered the post
