What happened to FIND???

Am I the only one who can't find this feature anymore?


This website has turned into a bunch of useless ads.

Re: What happened to FIND???
Hi BorachoNerd. The FIND feature was removed because some individuals mistook it for a search field. Here are two Documents you can use to navigate the forum and the website more effectively:


How do I use Find-It URLs from PC World magazine articles?

How Do I Find Information on PCWorld.com?

Re: What happened to FIND???
I agree! Taking the "find" box away has been most distressing. I don't find that typing the URL in the address box works either. This was one of the best site features!! There should be at least a link to a page that would have this search box.

Re: What happened to FIND???
The documents you were linked to have the answer you are looking for. We haven't removed the feature, but we did remove the box from the red site header. A lot of people confused it with our site search, and were trying to put words into it. They would, of course, get frustrated when it didn't work.

I know that it's been frustrating for many (I answer this question at least 20 times each month) and there has been discussion of finding a new home for this box on our site. But currently, the only way to access them is to type the entire URL into the address bar of your browser.

It's not that we can't. It's that we've got lots of stuff on our plate that's a higher priority. Please let me know if you need additional help with the find urls.
