To search or not!!

Maybe its just me, but I have trouble using the search function. It does not seem to matter what I type in the search it just seems to give random replies. Any help would be welcome Shocked Embarassed Evil or Very Mad

Try searching through google, type in the google search box "freel2 radiator" for example it seems to work better for me that way.

Thanks to CG for the tip Thumbs Up

I found the same problems but then tried using combination words in the following manner and it worked a lot better. eg: Radiator +hose rather than radiator hose. I still dislike how the "Back" button (after doing a search) returns me to the blank Search page again rather than back to the previous search results (ie: I have to start over again). Any tips on that one?

Thank npinks - works a treat. Right click on mouse and 'Open in new Tab" or something. It's a good day when I can learn something new. Cheers!

I did a search earlier this afternoon and just put a + infront of all terms (words) other than the first

e.g. wing +mirror +light

and the search worked perfectly - came up with great results.

That's the way to use it.

If using Google, don't forget that you have the "advanced search" option (very small type but is located to the right-hand side of the search text box).

Clicking on this will bring up the option to search for exact words or phrases and if you put this "http://www.freel2.com/forum/" in the last box (Search within a site or domain) it will search for your chosen words throughout the entire Freel2.com Forum database and not waste your time with spurious results from other sites! Thumbs Up
