Searching the forum in Google.com

[bernel]

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!

I am frightened of google, they have anything on file,we just have to make the right seach and the less that we type the faster they find it.

This is funny!

"happy" site:e-cigarette-forum.com

2,250 results in google...

"sad" site:e-cigarette-forum.com

only 271 results...

Conclusion: We are happy people!!

 

[Liscab]

Only a few people are sad in here when they don't have back up parts,I would dare say a few newbies

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?

Hi Smokeyjoe. The Google custom search bar is great! It seach only for results at the forum so its better than my suggestion because there is no need of typing all the site:e-cigarette-forum.com stuff. I just didn't note there is a google search bar! If you can place one at the top drop down navigation it will be nice!!!!

I stumbled on the google (in my case aol/google) search when I gave up looking for passthru charger for the car. I gave trying to use our search! So what did I find? About 20 posts in ECF! That was just crazy. I didn't know about the google search at the bottom of the page..Thanks!
