Hi Sarah,
is there any way a google site search button could be added to the interface? The existing search seems to miss a lot of results.
Many thanks!

Or just go to Google and ask, then see what difference there is.

Hi Mac & Sarah,
As an example, if you do a search-box search for "alinia" only 1 result comes up. If you do a google site search 5 results come up:
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fcpnhelp.org+alinia
p.s. Mac, typing "google alinia" into the search box doesn't give any results.

As another example a cpnhelp site search for "glisodin" brings up only 5 results:
http://cpnhelp.org/search/cpnhelp?keyword=glisodin
However a google site search brings up 22 results:
https://www.google.com/search?&q=site%3Acpnhelp.org+glisodin
IMHO the site would benefit greatly from the inclusion of a google site search button!

As I said in my previous reply, go over to google to search: after all, that is what it is there for. This is a rather fragile site and since the search box works, I don't want to mess with it.

Sorry I thought you were asking me for further information in your original reply.
In any case I have fixed the issue for myself by installing a firefox extension. Though it won't help anyone relying on the searchbox.

Interesting, Garcia. Thanks for the insight. I wonder why our search isn't picking up those others. I'll experiment a little tonight.

No worries Mac. I thought it was an interesting / important enough issue to report!

But Garcia, nobody needs to rely on the search-box if they don't think it good enough they can just open another window and use google, typing in 'site:cpnhelp:org glisodin' or whatever else. Then you can find everything from cpnhelp without overburdening the server.

Garcia, Meanwhile, if you type 'google' into the search box with the term you're looking for, does that have any effect?
