What happened to the search function on the forum? I can’t find it anywhere. How can you search for a topic from previous posts? There must be a way to not reinvent the wheel with questions.

And Google is still better. Put in “site:analystforum.com” (no quotes) #freeCvM (or whatever) and you’ll get much better results.

Multi-billion dollar company specializing in search, versus… the AnalystForum search feature

We use Apache Solr behind the scenes which is pretty powerful, though yeah, it’s no Google.

Nothing personal. No forum gets it right. Even Reddit suggests using Google.
