Don't make me think - where is the search
Today Brad Baker
announced that if I want to search www.joomla.org or community.joomla.org then I have to do the search at forum.joomla.org.
"Searching for 'stuff' on the Joomla.org suite of sites
What is one thing that Google knows how to do? Search. Therefore, we've setup an excellent tool, using Google to help you locate resources from almost all the Joomla sites in one place. To use it, you will need to start here: http://forum.joomla.org"
Oh great of course, that is so obvious why did I never think to go to a second web site in order to search the first web site.
Oops no even that's not correct. I can't search www.joomla.org
Brad's blog post is entitled "Have questions? We have answers."
There is a big difference between having the answers locked away and letting someone ask the question and get the answer.
Come on guys how is anyone going to find anything. It's no good telling people that it's on the web site and that they should search if you don't provide the search tools.
And don't say that it's not possible to use the standard Joomla search across multiple sites. I've done it and its not hard it just needs some modified search plugins. The search button, in the top right hand corner of course, at www.reformjudaism.org.uk searches across 6 different sites.
