Changed search features to Google- U just made searching the org harder .

Well the title says it all.

Why on earth was the search features changed? No longer can we advance search by all the old parameters that made searching the org easy.

You all have pretty much made it impossible for newbies and rest of us not to search the org, which will result in a crapton of repeat threads of the same issues. Yes it's like this already, but with the change to Google search and the lack of parameter choices, you ain't seen nothing yet

Is there a feature that i'm missing, where i'm not getting the ability to advance search?

My guess that org's owners is getting cash for this switch, which I guess is understandable in the business sense of things. But for what we're losing, it's not worth it and the org has just become a little more personal.

Bring back the old search features, or at least give us the option of both.

I just used the lower purple bar search, hit advanced, and it was normal Org search.

Try that?

PERFECT! Thanks Deb

And I thought I scoured the entire org before posting this thread...guess not

I was using the homepage as the basis for this thread. It still would be nice if the homepage would give yo the options that are shown via the search in the purple bar.

Thanks again Deb

What happened to the "New posts" link on the home page? I found that feature very useful.

I'd start a thread on that issue Tom. The more exposure the better
