As you are all great Forum Members, I bet you have read all the stickies on the forums before posting, and therefore you've probably stumbled over this.

Now, from experience, most old forum members know that the PunBB search function fails, no matter how awesome you are at searching, and that the chance of finding what you have searched for is around 30%. Also, if you end up looking for what you want in a 50 pages of threads, it's not going to be that easy. Therefore we use Google search.

To do this, visit http://www.google.com . In the search box, type the following:
site:forums.bf2s.com [insert search words here]
As an example, we can take something I was searching for recently, a movie Sarrk Posted. Search: MORE DOTS!

PunBB - if the link won't work, search for More dots! yourself
Google




See? Much Better.

Yeah, PunBB searches suck, especially on a site which has continued to flourish like Bf2s.com has. Bravo on all counts Mister Jenspm. Have an OBE.

Yes, but Jens doesn't use the function. He just posted this to make sure everyone else does it. Because if they don't he can moan at them.

For your Google link you only needed:

Code:

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:forums.bf2s.com+MORE+DOTS!
Not:

Code:

http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=site:forums.bf2s.com+MORE+DOTS!&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
And for the PunBB link you should have this:

Code:

http://forums.bf2s.com/search.php?action=search&keywords=MORE+DOTS!&author=&forum=-1&search_in=all&sort_by=0&sort_dir=DESC&show_as=topics&search=Submit

As you know, I am the #1 Search Whore of BF2s, so yes, I use it all the time.

I never search

But its good to have FireFox because then you can use the search field that follows it and add your own search there..
