Performing Searches

[WillyInBris]

Hi Guys,

Well I have the time so I thought I would ask I really suck at doing searches on these boards, how do I perform an exact wording search on these boards.

If I want to do a search on google on say the following exact wording manufactured homes I just put that in between inverted commas"" just like this "manufactured homes" and all I get is links about manufactured homes

When I do a search on this forum I get everything that has manufactured and homes so a bloody lot of posts and then I end up making up a post that has probably been answered already and people off and thats the last thing I want to do.

All I want is ''manufactured homes''

Help me please its going to drive me to get another drink

Gday Willy, use Google to search the forums.

Go to the Google page, enter site:woodworkforums.com, click on advanced search & put manufactured homes in the "exact phrase" search box.

Sing out if any dramas.


Cheers................Sean

down the bottom of every page on this forum is a google search box, you can use it to search inside this forum

As echnidna says..... At the bottom of all pages is a Google Search box, to use it to search the forums make sure you click in the radio button next to www.woodworkforums.com.

You can then do a masive search of the forums with all the same advanced search thingies that Google has to offer like "manufactured homes" or manufactured+homes or "manufactured homes" + brick, etc.

Cheers - Neil

Hi there

Interesting points, I tried the following search strings and got the same results each time;

manufactured AND homes
"manufactured AND homes"
manufactured homes

We improved the speed of the search function a few months ago, it still has some obvious short falls!

cheers
