 * The beta search system isn't quite ready yet (which is why it's beta). Really, it's just being tested and there are a few things that need to be done with it.  Once this is done, Wikia will probably see if this new search system will benefit other wikis.  If so, it will probably be implemented on other wikis.  If not, it probably won't.  I don't exactly know what's happening with the search thing (there have been quite a lot of testing recently) but Wikia is creating something good (whatever it is) ☺ .  -- 22:16, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Whoa. Why is the old search engine being replaced with beta?? I liked the other one better. You could specify the area where you wanted to search (Templates, Templates talk, MediaWikia, ect) — it made navigation much easier! ―  T hailog  09:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Beta integrates new features like more interwiki cross reference andi think there is a tab for wikipedia not sure --Cizagna (Talk) 17:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That's cool, but it needs to do all that and not remove useful search features from the previous version. --GreenReaper(talk) 02:07, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

The main problem I find with the beta search is it makes it more difficult to create new entries.


 * If there are results for the search, but there isn't already a page specifically on the search term, there is no link to create a new entry. There should be a link on the results page to create an entry for the search term.


 * If there are no results for the search, it does give a link to create a new entry, but the title of the new entry page doesn't automatically default to the search term. Rather than having a blank title field, it might be prefilled with the search term.

More links to create new entries will lead to more new entries.

Customization
Is there a way to tell it to always show you what is on the wiki instead of the whole wikia server? every time i want to search something here at central wikia, i have to click "this wikia" tag --Cizagna (Talk) 03:28, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
