do a quick search before you ask question thats been asked a million time before.wedont have mods on this site but miller and adam dont really have time to clean up the site,so help em out,that and alot of member are gettin tired of answering the same question 20 time a week

If you don't know how to use it you will now

first click the search button

you can then do a quick basic search by typing shit into the blank space

if that still dosnt bring up what you want then try the advanced search
from there you have lots of options to choose from
you can.
-search by a post
- search by a thread title
- by a screen name if you know who posted it
-thread tags

you can allso narrow down your searchs by searching
by .
-selecting how many replies
- by posted dates
-and sort them by date as they come up
you can allso search by threads and posts to make things easier
rather then just telling you ill actually show you how to use them.

start with a key word,we'll use a common one
"headlights"

by posts

by title

see it dosnt take that long


now if you know someone posted soemthing but you cant find it again you can search by their user name

i used mine for this

we have alot of members on this site and it will only continue to grow so if you dont remeber some one name its not big deal
then type in what you rember of the name and then a drop list will pop up of names matching that
i chose "the"

then just choose the one you wanted


you can allso search by forums and sub forums

this way if you know something was posted in the "fighter pics" forum itll weed out all the other bull shit and narrow it down for you.

you can allso combine all searchs to make it as easy as possible
a name with a key word,then you can choose a post or thread title too
i chose "honda" and "the green lantern"

post

thread

hope this helps you out

Re: how to use the search feature

People are going to keep asking stupid questions as long as people keep answering them. Rather than give those lazy newbs what they want on a silver platter, just respond search button and maybe it will catch on.

Re: how to use the search feature

nice write up greenie, +rep to you.

fuck i didnt even know how to use the function to its fulest capabilities. but thats ok cuz i was on here so much that i already knew where everything was and could easily just go to that sub-forum and find the thread according to the general date it was posted

now ive been outa the loop for a while and theres sooo many new threads and members, so this write up will help me out.

Re: how to use the search feature

The search is actually pretty powerful. Nice write up. I was wondering about the 15 second search limitation. Why is it so long and why do I get the error even when I'm not searching?

Re: how to use the search feature

There's a wait between every post or search you make everyone but Adam and miller have it
