New Search Engine

I have just installed a new search engine called IBSearch. It has some advantages over the regular vBulletin search:
  • It's a lot faster, especially on this board, which (up until now) has had to maintain a giant search index to support 2-character terms.
  • It runs on separate hardware, so it does not place any load on the forum's database server. Members can search all day without slowing down the forums.
  • It is based on Lucene, which was designed from the ground up for document indexing and searching. Lucene is a lot more powerful than either MySQL fulltext indexes, or vBulletin's built-in search.
  • It supports two-character search terms, and it supports punctuation marks in search terms (for example "K&N", which it was not possible to search for before.)
  • It adds an "Intelligent Search" option to the search page. This returns results in a threaded way (that is, it makes it easier to find responses to posts), making it easier for you to find the posts you're looking for. The default is the regular "flat" result page vBulletin normally gives you.

If you have any suggestions, concerns, or other feedback, please post in this thread.

old is better

I have found the old search much better at relevant results.

The new one seems to not show up recent topics first.

sl500
I AM TRYING TO INSTALL SHEEP SKIN SEAT COVERS AND WANT TO REMOVE THE HEAD REST and reinstall. The local MB dealer said I should extend to max. then pull it out. It will not come out. The car is a 2003 Mercedes sl500. I also want to take out the horizontal part of the seat to install covers and am having difficulties there too. Thanks for the help

THe search engine keeps showing no results. Even a word as mundane as grill comes up with nothing.
