Site Search announcement
Just to let everyone know, the site search feature might be broken or just plain funny-acting for a little while as I redo the indexing script.
Update: I just rewrote the indexer script from scratch, and it appears to be working, so all should be back to normal. Actually, results should be a tiny bit more accurate, since we're now compensating for accented characters and weirdly misplaced newlines in articles. Anyway, if anyone runs into problems or error or anything, let me know ASAP. Last edited by tabacco; 04-19-2004 at 01:47 PM. |

Good to know (although I've probably used it like 2-3 times since September last year ).

Same here. It's a good feature to have though.

And now, we have absolutely irrefutable proof that Marek and I are not the Myst-bashers we have been characterized as:
The word "Myst" appears on our website 288 times. 288 times! Proof does not come much clearer than that.
