Fix the forum search!

[J-M v2.5.5]

I'm searching for this one topic where Thothie explained how he used the NSIS installer to make (an older version of) the Enhanced Installer. It also involved a string of code that automatically finds the \half-life\ folder which made it a very useful topic.

Right now I can't find it anywhere.
Of course I used search, and at first I searched for "NSIS", then "NIS", and then "null", only searching posts posted by user "Thothie". That didn't work, so I tried "NSIS", "NIS" and "null" (from Nullsoft) again without filtering for the user who posted the article.

But the stupid search engine keeps telling me there are no topics with these terms.

This isn't the first time the MS: C forum search engine tried to screw with me so I am guessing it's broken.

Somebody please fix it, or better yet, link me to the topic mentioned above.

Thanks in advance

I don't think the search engine can find posts dated prior to the last forum port over. Likely for the same reasons all the old forum posts have double carriage returns - they just didn't quite make it.

Anywho... Linky:

HMSoft edit has a nice wizard that does most of that for you... Save for the "find Steam" part.
