Google now a part of SacredWiki

[gogoblender 3,070]

After a long while of working with the coding, google now graces every single one of the wiki's pages. Wiki's are notorious for having extremely slow search functions, very often not finding what a searcher is looking for. Google now has a place at the top left of the index bar:

 

 

 

It's default has been set at search for only within SacredWiki...however, any user can change the default to search the entire web from within the wiki. Schot has also adjusted the code so that all results are displayed within our very own wiki's skin. For example, when putting in the word guides in the search box the following is produced:

 

 

 

Enjoy your searching

Hoorah for google technology!

 

Well, lets face it, the wiki search is just... urghs... there are no nice words to say it, so lets just say it sucks, big time. I mean come on, usually if you don't search for the exact title of the page you are looking for then the odds of finding what you want are rather slim. There are even times when even if you enter the exact title in the search box, you will still receive a list of suggestion, with the exact page NOT being the first in the list >_<. Oh, and god forbid that you actually dare to make a typo. Wiki can't handle typos. Suggest a better search word? In wiki search? Never! Enjoy your never-ending search. [/rant]

 

Google search on the other hand can find what you're looking for with excellent precission, I know I always use google when I want to search for stuff on wikipedia, or even other wikis.

 

So once again, yay for a MAJOR improvement to the SacredWiki.

Thanks Indy. lol, I was hoping you'd like this new addition. I'm completely addicted to google's search technology...and now on the wiki, it's unbelievable what it can find.
