I Don't Like The Search Discussion Bar (Solution Inside)

I don't like the search bar because it does not display discussions sorted on things that make sense such as date or amount of responses. Also there does not seem to be a page two or three. Alternatively I use a Google search query to see the discussions. It goes as follows: site:mylot.com 'keyword here' Then on the left hand side I select 24 hours or 48 hours. Does not matter that much. So for example if I want Google to search for discussions about Kooday I type: site:mylot.com kooday This way I don't get the bonus but at least it makes searching mylot much easier. Mylot do something about it if you can!

Yes we are paid for using the search bar on myLot - I usually get betweeen 20c and 50c a day from using it

Yep you get a bonus. It's a few cent every time it pops up. It's nice but it does not convince me to use the bar.

Lucky for you both, I have never received even as much as a zero bonues I just search results. I have no clue why it never works for me and in fact my first myLot member day I used it and it said on the first try suspicious behavior... Okay so why on the first try?? Then never nothing after that

I think you should direct your problems to mylot directly for a quick answer. What say? Wish you all the best.

Never had a reaction on any of my suggestions from mylot. So I am not going to try it. :)

I use other search options as well. I do not usually search the MyLot discussions, I probably should. I feel like I am lucky to get to be here at all, so I just answer and run mostly. I think this is a good piece of advice for people who are trying to search MyLot, though and probably will find things a lot more effectively.

Whoa it certainly will help diminish all the repeated discussions that a great deal of new members create on a daily basis.

I am not a big fan of MyLot's search end. Sometimes I will search for a discussion that I answered a while back and when I search, I can't find anything. I do use outside sources to search like others do here. I wish they would do something to improve the quality of their search engine.
