Search function??

[Tocca]

Ok, thanks.

"The searches brought down the server"! That's something!
It's a pity that you can't search when you're new, but i fully understand the restriction.

I've found the answer to some of my questions already, and i can probably find some more answer if i keep digging a bit.
I also found three different threads asking about the searchfunction, so if i had just been a little bit more patient i would've gotten that question answered too.

I'll read some more in the different forums, later on i'll post if there's still things i need to know (very likely) or want help with (very very likely). Maybe i'll even be able to answer someone elses questions (not quite so likely).

We've added Google search to the top of each forum page. Works as well (or better than) the database-intensive one we had. Give it a try.

Great!
Works better? Mmm, well you'll probably get more hits but you'll surely get more nonrelevant hits too. Main thing is to learn HOW to search to get what you want i believe. There are lots of small things one can do to narrow the results. Putting things like: "", and, or...after/before/between words works miracles.

I know that in Google, it's possible to search a specific site on the internet.
This will probably work for the forum too i think. But i don't know if that will put a strain on the forum-server as well? I haven't written how to do it, since that might be a fact.
If it doesn't, i'll explain how to go about it if anyone is interested.
