Forum Tools Question

[Saint-Stanislas]

Hi everybody,

I'm new to the forum but I'm on ksp since 0.16 or so... I just subscribed to the forum because I was able to find everything by just reading through them until now ! I'm a french canadian, so excuse my not so fluent english ( past tence and stuff )!

So I am using the "search this thread tool" a lot before posting, to find out if somebody would have asked about something similar earlier.

Maybe I am just blind, but I can't see any way to order the results by date. For recent thread it's not really a problem, but in the case of, as an example, a plugin thread that is out there since 0.18 or so, there is thousands of pages to look through. So when you search for a specific bug or something, the page that are coming up are often reporting the bug on a previous version of the game/mod and it's pretty confusing. If the result were ordered by date, you would see the latest report similar to yours. In the advanced search section, you can ask wich kind of order you want, but you can't search on a specific thread ( just a specific section of the forum )

I am sure it is really easy and there is just something i'm not seeing.

So thanks in advance for your answers !!

(EDIT) : No that I have posted this I realise that this is easy to come around by using the "site:" function on google but it is unconvenient and there is obviously an easy way to do this onsite.

Extern solution ?

Welvome to the forums. As you have already noticed the forum search feature is not very helpful. As you have already discovered using Google works far better then the built in search function.

It's strange, google argument seem to not work on http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/55219-0-25-Module-Manager-2-5-3-(Dec-07)-v-1c-Edition

But it does on any other page from the same forum ... Any clue ?

edit: It seem to randomly not work on certain pages. Could it be related to google cache ?
