I miss the old Diigo forums for at least one reason: There seems to be no way to do a full-text search of previous topics in Diigo forum! Maybe I missed it, but otherwise it's a step in the wrong direction IMHO--to rely only on tags for finding past posts.
On the bright side, the Email Notification feature is a beautiful thing!
By the way, it strikes me as funny that the "right" tags for this post are just about identical to the subject line. What's my point? I don't know. It's Friday.
haha, nice to hear our "simple off-the-shelves" old forum is actually "missed" :-)
Yes, Oliver is right - full text searching is on our to-do list. While it's a little inconvenient without it now, we're re-doing our forums for many good reasons. Glad you like our new alerts.
hey, like to nag you - please update your avatar :-)
Of course, you need to consider the inevitable delay that is caused by the time it takes till Google has indexed all newly added discussions/thread in the Diigo forum.

As already mentioned the full-text searching is a feature to come. But for now, you could use this workaround:
1) Go to the Google homepage (http://www.google.com/ or your country's local version of Google)
2) Then use the following syntax to perform a full-text search in the new Diigo forum:
[enter search term here] site:http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/
For example: full-text site:http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/
This should find all pages with the term "full-text" in them.
Of course, you need to consider the inevitable delay that is caused by the time it takes till Google has indexed all newly added discussions/thread in the Diigo forum.
> good idea! do you know how long that google-lagtime actually is?
No, sorry, unfortunately I don't know how long that lagtime is.
