I don't know if this is bothering anybody else but I'm having trouble finding stories with Erestor in them simply because he is not in the title or explaination. What happened to the third check box under search that had to do with content. Now I can only find the two stories with erestor in it by the search. It's very frustrating. I had been reading other stories with him in it and now I can't get to them or remember where to find them. Putting that search back would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, we never wrote this site to be so big. Seaching a few stories for a single work is easy. Searching 500+ stories is quite an intensive activity on the server - so we took off the full text search. To re-introduce it would be quite a lot of programming to optimise it.

But fear not, there is a wonderful solution. Just visit Google, and type "erestor site:www.openscrolls.net" in the search box, and all the stories pop out Smile.

See - we wouldn't let you down, would we Wink

And 23 people had to test it 'cos they didn't believe me. Ah, life.
