Hi,

Is there any update on this? Losing the fidelity of the data during migration is a pretty serious defect in my view. Lots of good information has been lost; I search for old threads and seeminly all links to offisite URLs and to other posts are missing. 

There ought to be a redirect from the old format of url (e.g. http://www.lotus7.club/t.asp?id=190003) to it's new equivalent (not that I can find the new equivalent of that post now with the inadequate search facility). That would allow the internal post linking structure to remain intact if the links could be recovered. 

Thanks

Mark

Oh yes I forgot the search engine defaults to "OR" and not "AND" 

<sarcasm>Of course it's completely natural that I'd want threads which mention either "Caterham" OR "Luggage", rather than threads which mention both terms within the thread title.</sarcasm>

It's quite bizzare that someone would choose this as a default search mode; either they're a poor developer or have never had to search for anything on the internet. Even the string "CATERHAM AND LUGGAGE" only finds that thread as the 9th most relevant, with this http://www.lotus7.club/forum/chitchat/time-get-tow-bar-fitted-7 being the most relevant match)

Cheers,

Mark
