I had the stuck gas cap problem and tried search using "gas cap", "cap", "stuck gas cap". Nothing got me any results. So I googles "stuck gas cap Spyder" and got dozens of results, mostly on Spyderlovers.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Search feature is useless

You always have to be careful what you're looking for... :shocked:
Those 3 words, will bring up every thread and post with any ONE of those words in it... :gaah:
you'll have radiator caps, master cylinder caps, baseball caps, gas tank capacities, gas hydraulic shocks, and I have no idea what "Stuck" might also bring to the table! :yikes:
It can be really frustrating, but try using the least amount of words necessary for your search... :thumbup:

Also tried each word separately. Same results. Doesn't matter. There's always Google!

Use " marks
One trick. If your searching on more than one word and put "s around them then you will only get results that match all three words in that order:
e.g.
"stuck gas cap" - comes back with just three results
"gas cap stuck" - comes back with just one
stuck gas cap - comes back with 20 pages worth - most of which will be junk. Basically any mention of stuck, gas or cap.
You'll probably still need to play around a bit with the words you choose but it really helps cut down the rubbish.

Use Google Site search
Google has a method of just searching a specific site.
In Google try site:www.spyderlovers.com "stuck gas cap"
As mentioned above enter your search string inside quotes although even without them Google is more intuitive.
Note: Looks like the forum software added a hyperlink to the www above. Just enter the whole phrase in Google search.
