    Hexus has no search?

    I'm a regular in the forums and used to read the site a lot, but tend to skip the mainsite these days due to a lack of funds and hating to see the latest tech I can't afford.

    Anyway I'm in the market for an IcyBox external enclosure and wanted to see what info Hexus has on them. But to no avail I could not find any search function to search for reviews/articles/news. I feel this is a really lacking feature on Hexus.

    (Point me in the direction if I've just not found it, I can't imagine that hexus has no search!)

    BTW I'm trying to find if the IcyBox 360 series is available in the UK yet.

    The best place to look would be the reviews section:http://www.hexus.net/content/reviews/reviews_list.php

    However, I do agree that a search function would be useful, although if it is too hard/expensive then it's not a great loss.

    come on HeXuS is a leading tech site, saying a search function is too hard is like shooting oneself in the foot.

    There is not a search function available on the site and the only ICYBOX review is the 350 - http://www.hexus.net/content/reviews...lld19JRD04MDg=

    Well I bought the 350 model now with Firewire and USB and a Seagate 250GB drive from Scan!

    Looks like the 360 is a bit too new to be available with Firewire

    Is there a reason there isn't a search? If I'm honest (and I am), if I'm looking for a review on something, and I go to hexus, I probably won't find it. Therefore, you've either not done the review yet, or it's hidden (ie no search). So I'd move on to another rival site that does have a search function and find what i'm looking for in no time. This is probably one of the main reasons I don't use hexus for most reviews should I need any - I've given up looking TBH.

    There are good technical reasons why we don't currently have a search and I'm not about to go into them. The next site release will have full search functionality and is nearing completion (we are in the testing phase). In the meantime please use the review listing as indicated above.
