I want to see how useful google search is on the forums, so I'm going to give it a go ...
The search box will be up at the top, left of the page ...
I'll drop it in at 16:00 today - have a play, and let me know what you think
Thanks,
Simon |

It's a 'new feature' Paul ... not everybody has google toolbar
The nice thing is, it give a different view of BOTH what's generally available in Google AND what Google has gone to the 'effort' to retrieve from the forums
It opens the results in a new window too

I like it even though I have Google toolbar and Firefox's own multi-search-engine tool. It opens in its own tab (so I don't lose the POCUK content that prompted the search) and seems a lot cleaner than Google's "native" results. If the club is getting something from Google for this, that's even better. |
