Resolved How do I search this forum

[mdkelley]

I can't seem to find the search tool...

Thanks,

Matt

I find it's best at searching for members by name, not so much by topic, but here it is on my screen anyway.

The forum Search software is not very good, it will not include certain words stating too common or too short.

You will get better results using a search engine.

In the search engine type, without the quotes and replace your search words with your own words

"Site:Hobby-Machinist.com your search words"

Search function doesn't work for me either.
What I see is not the same, sometimes it's the same layout as yours but not very often. The same thing applies to the Like button, it's only available once in a while.

Ok, I knew I could search with a search engine by specifying the "site:" keyword but was just wondering if there was something obvious I was missing. Thanks!

Permission for the regular search function will now be given to all members to make things easier.
