Hats off to the Webmaster! Thanks, Tom Laser Interferometer Space Antenna - LISA Terrestrial Planet Finder - TPF JPL-Caltech ID: 170536 ·

WTF should I search posts on these boards on Google! Have any of you devs tried to search for anything with the new search function?? Results: Useless! Sheesh! :-( You said it! I've already tried searching for something the new way... it failed. If I want to search something thru Google (and see their ads) I'll go there directly. me@rescam.org ID: 170555 ·

But logical operands like OR and NOT didn't work in the old search, dit it? Maybe it did... and I couldn't get it to work... Anyway, some things may've improved. The problem with the Google search IMO, is the ads. But I guess you can't get it totally free either. ID: 170562 ·

Not much more to say, but I hope the “team” will understand all of our feelings. Regards, Tom Laser Interferometer Space Antenna - LISA Terrestrial Planet Finder - TPF JPL-Caltech ID: 170574 ·
