Searching Tips
Hi All,
I'm new around here, so apologies if this has been mentioned before.
I have noticed a few people having trouble with/complaining about the search function.
In my experience most forums suffer similar issues due to poor indexing capabilities and basic query engines.
What I have found works great when searching is to do it from Google - but at the end of your search term put 'site:aussieveedubbers.com'
That limits Google's search of its indexes to only pages on aussieveedubbers.com
As a test try the following:
1. On the board search try the search term '30 pict jets' and change the From field to 'the beginning' and you will get 'No matches were found'
- well I do anyway.
2. Enter the following search term in Google - '30 pict jets site:aussieveedubbers.com' and you will get plenty of results.
Hope this helps some of you when looking for some info.
Cheers,
Mark
PS: Trick can be used for other sites too. I search 'thesamba.com' in the same way.
