HELP ME OUT

[marin8703]

Hey, im 18 and i got no problem using the search functions. Maybe thats because i havent reached the search rebelion phase yet, or maybe thats just me. But i dont think that age is a factor in desiding whether to use the search function or not. I know of many older people on this forum who neglect to use the search function in light of all their wisdom. I think the problem is that some people just need answers and dont have time to figure out how to phrase thier search terms.

Oh, and as some one stated earlier, there is some serious age jealousy going on here.

I agree.

You punks should just chill out. You'll grow up and be men soon enough, no need to be jealous. Some of us just have a few more battle scars and weather features. One day all you younguns will gain that after some hard work and a little time. So sit back and chill and lay off the jealousy. sheesh

The funny thing is using "search" is faster than having to wait for a response. That means those that ask before searching are just lazy bums.

agrv8r, the true number is 54 covering nearly 3 pages and most of those are telling lazy bums to use the search feature.

The other funny thing is that some people will post 5000 posts hammering reposters and not want to tickle out a reference to anything useful.

Then when some lazy bum wants to find out something, they have to mow through those 5000 posts to get any useful information!

Now, you can search "Why people don't search" and relive the truth over and over again!

(yeah, I'm being a smartass)

Whew, you almost earned yourself a BIG OLE' banning if it weren't for that last comment. However, I agree with you. It's a good thing there's that "Advanced Search" thingy to cut out unwanted junk.

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

Enter the key words you're looking for and the author's name. You can also use appx. dates and choose the forum section to search. I don't know what the "child forums" are.

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.

This doesn't excuse laziness, unless said poster admits laziness before asking the question

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.
