It's been a long time coming, but it's better than ever before!

At the top left of most of the main sections of ePHOTOzine, there will be a box allowing you to search those key areas.

When you click to search you will be whisked away to our new search server, which should show you a list of relevant results for your query.

A few notes:

- Results are ordered by relevance, so if the search system detects a high occurrence of your keyword it will rank that result higher.

- Because it's on a seperate server, it should be fast and if lots of people are searching, the main site won't be affected.

- It's not possible to do phrase matching yet, e.g. you can search for the two individual words canon 20d but not the specific phrase "canon 20d", though this isn't a big problem as usually results returned should be relevant.

- The search data will be updated hourly, so a new thread like this one, won't appear till an hour later.

- Because it's been written in-house, we'll be able to and are planning to, make improvements to it in the future. Our last search was a third-party script and wasn't fun to maintain.

- Planned improvements are: Ordering searches by date, boolean mode and phrase matching.
