Over the next couple weeks, all the SEARCH ENGINES on the Jones County Site will be replaced. The site exceeds the 1500-page limit for the PicoSearch account. I've tried Google Custom Search, but slow updating is a major problem. I'm setting up Atomz search boxes. You can recognize them as they have no logo. The remaining old Pico and Google boxes do have logos. I'd appreciate any feedback you can give about how quick and accurate the Atomz searches seem to be. |
