Re: Why people don't search

Now being a Noob only in name I do use the search function but have a question that maybe someone, like maybe a mod, can answer. I was searching today for a post I made several weeks or maybe a month ago about tie rods. I searched for posts that I made, keywords "tie rod" in the H3 sections but it always said there were too many matches and to narrow it down. Apparently it wasn't searching for the keywords only in my posts, is there a way to do this? OABTW, I found the info without posting the question or using the search :p |

Re: HELP ME OUT
"Searching" will produce mostly garbage because of the thousands of garbage posts associated with each topic. What the noobie is hoping for is the Readers Digest version of the useful info on the topic. He knows that somebody has the answer. At least he can hope.:D

x2, I'm not too much of a noob, but I've given up using the search since it's 90% BS and 10% useful. Other than the sheer carwreck rubberneck factor for interest, this whole website seems to be going to hell in a handbasket ever since those new mods took over.... |

Re: HELP ME OUT
Before the elcova.com space purge and the rehosting, pretty much everything had been discussed. Unfortunately, a lot of good stuff got lost. Those with institutional memories will recall that topic X was discussed, but might be surprised to see the posts gone. And the internet wayback machine and google caches don't have them either. :(:mad:
This doesn't excuse laziness, unless said poster admits laziness before asking the question :) |
Re: HELP ME OUT
Searching is one of man's oldest compulsion. It is how we define ourselves in this hostile world. We search for truth. We search for acceptance. We search for community. We search for answers that have plaqued us for millions of years. Of course, we search for happiness and solace. The search is a journey without end so long as there is an ounce of curiosity in man's collective mind. Sometimes, we just search for a better way to search.

I did all of the above and it did not list only posts that I made :( I believe the "child forums" are those with a section. For example if you select "Hummer H3 Discussion Forums" and check the "child forums" box it will search all the H3 sections. Could be wrong but that was my impression. |

Hey Dei, am I going to have to catch the stagecoach to Denver and then take the plane down to Florida and tell you how all us old people had to walk 50 miles each way to school and fight off grizzlies and mountain lions along the way ;) :D |
Re: HELP ME OUT
The search button can bring up interesting places within the forum, if a person knows the right word to use ;) :D
