Starting yesterday, the search bar on the PsychCentral citation on Bing disappeared. (It appears it is still present on Google.) I'm wondering if this is something PC has any control over or is it just something Bing has decided to do? I don't have Google on my laptop. So if the search bar is gone from the PsychCentral citation on Bing, & there's nothing that can be done about it, I suppose I'll have to consider downloading something such as Google Chrome in order to access PC's archives in the way I've been doing. Bummer...
 Thanx...

I'm not sure what you're referring to by the "PsychCentral citation on Bing." Could you perhaps include a screenshot to show us?

Is that why we haven't seen you around lately. I hope you return to us soon, Skeezyks. You are missed. Also, recent updates can reset preferences. Is it possible to add favorites to 'Bing'?

Thanks so much for your reply, DocJohn. Sorry... I wouldn't have a clue how to do a screen shot.  What I'm referring to is... when I search "Psych Central" on Bing, the first thing that comes up on the list is: "Psych Central - Official Site". And then below that are sub-catagories: Forums, Quizzes, Depression, Personality. And then below that it says "Psych Central headlines" & there are "thumbnails" of 4 recently added archive articles. Below the 4 thumbnails, prior to yesterday, there was a search bar one could use to find articles in PC's archives. Now it just says: "See more news from PsychCentral." And if you click on that, it takes you to a listing of articles. But, at least as far as I can determine, there's no way to search for specific articles, or articles concerned with a specific mental health issue. The search bar made it possible to do that. I did search Psych Central on Google (on another computer) & it does appear the search bar is still there. Unfortunately, I don't have Google on my computer. I guess I can download Google Chrome. But I'd prefer not to do that if I didn't have to.  P.S. CANDC knows about this search bar because I learned about it from her.

 Actually the amount of time I spend here on PC is largely controlled by the number of new members who are signing in since mostly what I do is to greet new members & make sure their first few new posts receive at least one reply. There have been fewer new members signing in lately (which I think is typical around this time of year.) So, as a result, I haven't been around as much. I did do a bunch of games a couple of nights ago. I don't typically do games. But that evening I was at loose ends, so to speak. So I spent some times replying to game threads.  Perhaps I misunderstood your suggestion regarding adding Bing to my preferences. I don't have any difficulty searching Bing in general. The problem relates to a search bar that, prior to yesterday, was on PschCentral's listing on Bing. For some reason that I don't understand, that search bar has suddenly disappeared. Hopefully it's a temporary "glitch". But I don't know & it's been an important part of what I've been doing here on PC.

Unfortunately, we have virtually zero control over how search engines decide to display results from our website. If something changes, your best bet is to just see if it comes back in a day or two (as happened here), as it might have just been a glitch or the search engine testing some different layout or format for their search results.
Glad it fixed itself.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
