Am i the only one that thinks the search section on here is something to be desired

Think it brings up everything except what your looking for :roflblack::roflblack:

Your not.....

But if you really want to find it here....google it and it will direct you to this site to what your looking for...:hun: oh yeah...go figure...:dontknow:

I tend to use Advanced Search rather than google with spyderlovers.com added to the end of the search string simply because Advanced Search works so well??

It works with delineators like putting the + symbol immediately before any word or words that MUST be found, or putting words in " marks - hey, it even lets you use both at the same time!! AND you can search entire posts, groups, forums, group messages....

Things like the well worn 'rear tire' query can be a great example - you can search for any appearance of either rear OR tire in anything just by throwing 'rear tire' into the keywords field & leaving it search 'all types' of posts; or you can search for any appearance of both the words rear & tire by putting in '+rear +tire'; the word/phrase combination 'rear tire' by using "rear tire"; or if you like you can put any/all of those in with it set to search titles only!! What more can you ask for?!? :dontknow:

And while google will use & search on all the delineators in the same way & you can restrict it to searching this site by adding 'spyderlovers.com' to the search string, I haven't yet found a way of using google to search anything but the entire site - there's no way of limiting a google search to anything but the entire site - no 'titles only' searches or any of the other search restrictions that Advanced Search offers. :thumbup:

I guess it's all in the way you use it!

I just had a thread running about this subject. Check out posts number:

This seems to be the only way to search for a string.

Ive actually had pretty good luck with it. Gotta be pretty specific in your keywords I've found

nojoke Just ask...
Here's what will probably happen:
3 people will actually answer your question with useful information.
2 will ask why you asked such a stupid question! After all: it's been discussed millions of times...
2 will also refer you to the Search Engine. :banghead:
7 will tell you their story that doesn't really apply... but they wanted to tell it anyway!
1 will say that it's all BRP's fault... :shocked:
2 others will then hijack the thread, and we're off to the races! :2thumbs:

funny

if this is like the 2nd time for this topic , how about actually telling us what you are looking for ? 50 folks looking instead of just 1

So Bob, which do you prefer....

Horses?

Dogs?

Team Sports?

other things that have a big betting business following :dontknow: .....

or would you rather watch cars, & bikes, trucks etc where so far, there's less formalised betting going on??

(I tried to search to see if there was any big betting business following for that in the States, & if anyone had asked the question here before, but didn't get any helpful response! :gaah: )

The there would be 50 people wasting their time instead of 1 :roflblack::roflblack:

 

[IdahoMtnSpyder]

The main shortcoming with the forum search that I've encountered is searching for posts by a specific forum member. The search brings up only those posts that are in a thread that that member started. If say, Bob D starts a thread and I post in that thread, that post won't come up if I put my name in the User Name box of advanced search.

 

[youngers]

swap notes

The there would be 50 people wasting their time instead of 1 :roflblack::roflblack:

I know the feeling,I asked a question wanting to know about installing accs with Year and the accs I was putting on.
!st thing I got was search, 2nd was on a different year 3rd was the answer I was looking for, So I agree with you on this .

But it's STILL more fun than calling out these guys!

You get all this b/c they are trying to increase their post count to reach you; but, I understand that that it is futile, and there can only be one king.
