Yes, Google is missing a ton of content because it's Elite. Internal search shows it, for Elite Members.

NexusFi mobile app
Ah yes, that is a very nice elite feature.
Also the new search seems cleaner by virtue of indexing only posts' messages and titles, as opposed to google search, where, although FIO urls rank highly, sometimes it turns out that the search terms only occurred in the profile snippets to the left of a post (i.e. a favorite platform or instrument.)
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

Small change to registration email system to prevent minor abuse. Not expecting any noticeable change, but recording as always.

Turns out, this did break something for Gmail users. I have now disabled it until I can resolve.

At the risk of repeating myself, the old search is more user friendly, while the new one is probably more powerful.
It would be great to have the features of both combined.

So it's more powerful but people prefer the old! Ha!
I wonder whether it just comes down to reluctance to change.
For me personnally it comes down to this
Big Mike
You are an advanced user, and I know that searching by title quickly is helpful for people like you and me that have memorized many of the thread titles. But for the average user, they don't search that way, and the old search made it difficult to find useful material.
Your definition of an advanced user was definitely the way I used it the most.

I wish I could combine best of both, but it's just not possible because the new engine is closed source. It's one or the other.

Need more info, as no one else reporting any issue. What is the exact behavior? Please list steps to reproduce the issue.
