Search Advice?

Graybay

Since the new forums started up, I've had trouble finding my way around. Searching is no longer simple. The search bar on the GameSalad forums doesn't take me anywhere even close to relevant topics that I search for. three quarters of google results are now 404 not found. Also I can no longer find the wiki at "gamesalad.com/wiki/how_tos"

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

also anyone know where I can find these articles now since they have 404'd?

@SSS .. I posted in the website redesign thread .. an easy implemented idea to make all the Google indexed links work again ... valuable I would think to ranking and exposure .. not to mention that it is invaluable to us developers to be able to find the community provided solutions and troubles from years of posts:

regarding the forum search (or search for anything in GS website .. could I suggest a solution?
Presently i use Google to search GS like "embed images site:gamesalad.com" which used to provide links to relevant pages, however with the new forum the links don't work. However I believe you could put a new page where the old links lead that extracts the needed page ID and redirects to the new forum page for the same info. Thus the topic.php page here: http://gamesalad.com/forums/topic.php?id=18147 could have code to extract the '18147' and redirect it to: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/18147/. Should be easy to do and would help all those old links Google has become helpful again.
