I agree .. hate vBulletin's search.... :up:

I like Google's CSE we just started testing, but I do think there is a lag in how quickly content gets updated after new posts are placed. I also don't like the fact that content that's restricted to only certain user groups displays in Google's CSE. I do realize that when an unauthorized user group member clicks on that type of link, vBulletin does present the user with the crappy "unauthorized" screen, but I wish we had a way of stopping Google's CSE from displaying it in the first place.

Anyway, Digitalpoint Sphinx sounds interesting, but I'm just a 62 year old Fortran programmer out of the 1960's era, struggling to support our not-for-profit collectors site where the average demographic age is 60+ ..

So, I doubt I could handle the install of that product unless it loaded as simply and elegantly as yours.

Do you know any contractors who could quote a price for us to install and test this product?

Thanks Martin..
