    No “TR” in search function

    Is there anyway to get “TR” included in the “titles” portion of search function (or better yet, be able to organize them by state, country……)?

    Result:
    1. Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
    The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : TR

    Result:
    You could try google.

    For instance if you wanted to see Shasta TRs try this search string:
    shasta intitle:TR site:tetongravity.com

    for states, I'd go with people who live certain places.
    CO: iskibc intitle:TR site:tetongravity.com
    PNW: squirrel99 intitle:TR site:tetongravity.com
    UT: trackhead intitle:TR site:tetongravity.com
    CA: we have no snow anyway, so probably not worth a search.


    Can't help on the organizing results part.

    Thanks for the input mmcpheet, I'll give that a try. Although, it would be nice to use the TGR search function to search TGR

    We have the search engine set to ignore terms shorter than 4 characters because they chew up tons of server processing power. That was an Owens decision from a long time ago, and not something I'd be comfortable changing without doing a fair amount of research first. Sorry.

    I know this horse has been flogged many times, but the aforementioned google search had me thinking that maybe you could index just the thread titles for "TR" in them?

    Alternatively, maybe have a quick search TR button (or sticky this thread) so that folks can click on a link for quick TR searches via google.
    McPheet that is Schweet!
    Did not know tha google can do searches like this:
    ALL Trip Reports ON TGR

    or this
    All Trip Reports on TGR in the Last 12 Months
    Kill all the telemarkers
    But they’ll put us in jail if we kill all the telemarkers
    Telemarketers! Kill the telemarketers!
    Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason

    Huh. Looks like most of them are in the "archive" section of TGR.
    Any way to get more recent poop from the google search?

    Alright, I've got mixed emotions on this. First, thanks because I'm one of those who asked for this sometime back. Second, I'm pissed because I got jonged and abused for asking in the first place.

    Fickle bastards.

    Just to be clear, we (TGR) never jonged you, or anyone else for this idea. We still don't know exactly what we're going to do, but it probably won't just be a new trip reports forum. It's going to be a separate area for trip reports that is also linked to the forum so nothing changes for those who like it the way it currently be.

    ^^ No, no, not TGR. It was the other fickle bastards. And yeah, thanks for whatever it is you're going to do. Seriously, you're doing a lot to improve the place. I especially like the embedded video capability. Thanks!

    No love for my TR sorter idea? Seems it wouldn't be too hard to implement it in vB.

    I think we're going to try to do something a bit more ambitious, but I like your idea as well. I will try to figure out how hard it would be to implement.

    Our grand scheme isn't there yet, obviously. I don't have an ETA, either.

    I did mess around with the forum settings some, and now when you search for TR, instead of saying:
    Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
    The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : TR

    it just says:
    Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
    I can see where you mignt not think that's much of an improvement.

    It's starting to work. "TR" is now an acceptable search term, and when I do a search on "TR" in thread titles, I get some results, but not enough. Maybe the search index needs to get rebuilt. I'll keep messing with it in my spare time.
