I tried to search for DirectDrawColorControl on this forum and I got nothing. I know that I have posted a post in a thread just days ago with that exactly word. With the same capital letters. Why didn't the search result give any results?

Hmm. You're right, I can't find it either.
I did find http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ADirectDraw%2A
where you mention *DirectDraw*, as in DirectDrawSurface7,
and *ColorControl* only returns http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...olorControl%2A
The terms: DirectDrawColorControl , *DirectDraw*, *ColorControl* don't even return this thread.
Hmm!
:confused:
Hmmm, you do say "DirectDrawColorControl.GetColorControls", let me see...
Nope! *DirectDrawColorControl* doesn't work either.
Must exceed Max String Length.
How about *Direct*Control*?
Nope! Got http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...%2AControl%2A, with a hit on DirectSoundControl.
Stupid search...:D
Actually it is a smart search, and a stupid index file.
Words are only placed in the search index if they are from 2 to 20 characters in length. DirectDrawColorControl is 22 characters, so you won't find it with the search.

And can anything be done for this?Quote:

We've already made changes to drop the index down to two and up to 20 characters. Each time you increase this you slow things down. I can increase the size to allow for 22 or 25 characters, but then someone will want something even bigger. Additionally, if I make a change, it requires me to re-index the forum, which takes several hours (like 8 to 12 if I remember correctly). As such, even if we agreed to change this, I wouldn't do it before Sunday.
Hehe...no worries...I bet there is no post at this forum about that topic anyway...and there is no or little information in the DX SDK, and no at MSDN, and only one page on the internet...will probably take you less time to trancelate that page from germen to English for me Brad then re index this forum...:D
First, you want him to improve his search engine.
Now your asking Brad to add a translator!
Should it be just a German to English?
How about BiDirectional?
Why stop at German? Why not Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, even Swahili or even that Indian Language used by the troops during Vietnam for Secure Communication!
Ungrateful git!
LEAVE BRAD ALONE!!!
He's stressed as it is, with us ChitChatting every Forum up!
:p :bigyello: ;) :D :p
I am not chit chating...at least not before now....but I didn't ask him to make a trancelator, just to trancelate that page...and it was just a joke...so shut up and let him do his work....:D
End of discussion...
Brad, I can see where the previous change from 3 to 2 could have slowed things down because that included a lot of new keys, but since there are probably only a few "words" larger than 22 I suspect that the hit won't be very large if the maximum is raised to 25.Quote:

Hehe. ..no Sorgen. ..I Wette die es gibt keinen Posten an diesem Forum um jenes Thema sowieso. ..and den es gibt nein oder kleine Informationen im DX SDK, und nein an MSDN, und nur eine Seite auf dem Internet. ..will nimmt wahrscheinlich Sie wenigere Zeit zu trancelate, der von Deutsch zu Englisch für mich paginiert, Brad betr. dieses Forum dann indiziert..
I don't know how good that translation is; however, it only took about 60 seconds..... And I don't know German. :D

Brad!
I was going to look at bumping the search up to 25 characters this week-end and reindexing, so your suggestion so well noted Martin.
Brad!
Hehehe....yeah I actually thought about using it too....:D....but I didn't remember the name of the site...maybe I should try it out. Worth a test....thanks..

Wow that new search text box at the bottom of the site gives me more search results on DirectDrawColorControl then Google...;)....thats what I call a nice search tool.
Thumbs up.

When did that appear? I'm embarrased to say that I wasn't aware of it.Quote:

I saw it a couple of days ago. Probably the same time as everything went purple. But I have to admitt that I havn't seen the word I was looking for in any of the pages it gave me....:(
The footer change occurred independently of the upgrade to the forum software. The Jupitermedia developers have been working to improve their search. It sounds like you like the results :).
Brad!
Yeah since it gave me more hits then any other search engine I like it....but since I can't find the word on any of the pages it found for me, I feel that I have been tricked....
It's a dirty scheme. :pQuote:
