Some tips for using our forum search engine (http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24901)
If you're looking for a thread on a specific topic and you think you might know a keyword used in the subject line, then type your key word or words into the space for keywords and then right below it there's a drop down box where you can select
Search Titles Only
Select this option. This will only pull up threads with your key word in the subject line. The other option pulls up all threads with the keyword or keywords in all the the messages, which could be a zillion threads.

But this shows you another way to search for specific topics if you know a word that might be in the subject line, it will reduce the number of results you pull up and in some cases reduce the amount of time you search for a topic.
You can also modify this by searching for a specific word in a Subject Line is a specific forum group. To do this, simply do all of the things already listed above but also use your Ctrl key on your keyboard and hold this key down and then using your mouse click on the groups you want to search.
