Search function: "How To"

[Jossy92]

The forum is already improved. :chuckle1

I want to avoid repetative posts.

The default for search appears to be "OR". Even if I use the "AND" or "+" operator.

However, before I post a new question about M40, I am not sure I searched correctly: I entered "M40 technique" as I want to know if I work M40 in a little at a time or use the "more is better" approach.

I can't believe the question hasn't been asked before, but can't find it.

I googled "vBulletin search how to". No luck.:o

I don't remember anyone ever asking a question specifically like yours?

There's always a first time for everything so have at it!


As for searching, you probably already know this but a lot of people might not, so here's a pictures explaining a tip to help you search.

I remember somebody telling us about a way to search sites through Google. He said to enter your search information, so "M40 Technique" and then the site. So it would look like this in the search bar:

M40 Technique site:http://meguiarsonline.com/

And here would be your results (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=3Ry&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=M40+Technique+site%3Ahttp%3A//meguiarsonline.com/&spell=1).

Hopefully this helps you out a little.

You can use Google to search a website and it's a very powerful way to search a forum.

Here's a brand new article on how to use the Advanced Search Engine built into the forum.

That's how I do it. It works better than vB search.
