Same here, searching the site with Google.com is way better:

Just go to google.com and type something like the following in the search box:

mgw site:mustangforums.com

Just replace "mgw" with your search phrase and it'll go through the entire site.

Even that is pretty inconvenient since this site has been flagged as "bad" (most likely due to whatever caused the outage).

Yeah I noticed that a few days ago also hopefully the issue isn't something that'sdufficult to take care of. I know getting off the "malicious site" lists of various crawlers out there is sometimes a pain in the booty.

edit: grammar

Here is a web page explaining why Google has stated that MustangForums.com may harm your computer:

Not good...

Unless the admins can fix this I'm outta here... There are plenty of other Mustang forums out therenot pushing malware!

The search issues are annoying me enough that I don't even want to come to this forum anymore. I check every day to see if it's been corrected but it hasn't yet....

we are working with google to get that nonsense taken down...there is nothing about the site that will harm your computer.

we are having issues with several functions of the software, hence the announcement posted in every section of the forum...
