    Google

    Greets everyone. I think that AO needs a search engine.
    Preferable Google since it was voted and recomended
    by a lot of members here at AO and it would be a great
    feature.. just a suggestion though.

    So what sort of search engine would we use? Can't we just direct people to http://www.google.com? Wouldn't that work just as well?

    Google says its going towards more commercial advertising. maybe we should see how far the go first.

    in my opinion, i think there is no point in making search engines that uses the google's. it would make the site more complicated. why not going to google.com and do the search there. but if it is the majority why don't we do it.

    IMHO its a nice idea as long as it don't make the site more complicated. I kind of like AO's clean look (a bit confusing at first look though :)). But maybe a optional search page with more than one search engine listed?

    Uhm... I don't think it's a good idea. Too much potential trouble. There is more info on google here. But I would go against it. Neat, but not really necessary, and it might just cause some extra server load.

    Terr, I fail to see the potential 'trouble' of having a searh engine.
    Of course it's not necessary but it would be a neat feature to have.
    How can a search engine cause the server to over load?
    You see on the front page of AO where it says 'About Antionline'?
    Just make it a box about that size to fit down there in the
    lower left hand corner. Try it out for a while and if it causes
    too much problems just remove it..
