Advanced Search Results Changed: What Changed?

Thread starter George Jones
Start date Aug 5, 2009

In summary, "Advanced Search Results Changed" refers to any updates or modifications made to the way search results are displayed after using advanced search options. You can typically view the changes by comparing the previous version of the advanced search results to the current version, and these changes may have been made to improve the user experience, make the search process more efficient, or update the algorithm used for ranking results. The changes will most likely only affect future search queries, but in some cases, they may also impact previous results. Depending on the specific platform or website, you may be able to revert back to the previous version or provide feedback to request a change if you are not satisfied with the updates.

Has the way Advanced Search displays its results changed recently (today)?

Either I'm doing something differently, or it has changed, and I now find it even less useful. i know, many people here use Google restricted to www.physicsforums.com.
