Title: Search

Any chance we can get the search field on the opening page fixed?  It's reverted to the old FreeFind code and it's annoying to have to go in to a page to use Google.

Gah! I just fixed it today!

Looks like I was pulling an old version of it when updating the card page. :P

That front page REALLY needs a makeover.

EDIT: OK, search fixed again.

Why exactly does the search suck so bad?  Does the google spider not have access to enough info?  I mean, I try searching for "Belt of Erebor" and I get nothing, and you'd think that one would be straightforward.  It comes up as the first result when searching from google's main page.

I really don't know. I looked into the backend and you'd think that since Google indexes the pages for themselves, the search should work as well. They have the master index as the sitemap and are supposed to index every page from there. I've searched for "Aragorn Ranger" and got one hit of Aragorn and two other companions, for example. Tellingly, the Aragorn hit was NOT Ranger of the North. :roll:
