    Default Searching the forum in Google.com

    When you try to search in the forum for short words you get no results. In the following example:

    "AA Batteries"

    You get too many results about "batteries" but none about the AA size.

    Now, probably most people know this, but maybe some does not. Use the following in google.com:

    "aa batteries" site:e-cigarette-forum.com

    You will get results related ONLY to what you are looking for: "AA Batteries" in this case. Just replace "AA Batteries" with your search:

    "type your search here" site:e-cigarette-forum.com

    It works for me all the time!
    Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

    Great post - yes, the site search isn't brilliant - there is a google custom search bar at the bottom of every page too - although I don't know how that compares to google generally.

    Perhaps I should add the Google search bar to the drop-down navigation as an alternative?
