This one is to help everyone take full advantage of all of the information out there on the site.

Tools Required

Fingers

Time Required

1-2 minutes

At the top of each forum, you will see small yellow font words starting with New Topic. Next to that is a search. Click on the word Search. It will open a small menu. Use the keyword you are interested in - for example, ECU. It helps to also pick a forum - for example, Performance Modifications. You can then choose to see posts by a particular member (like me :smile: ), or all relevant posts. You can also choose to sort by date, topic, etc. Choose to search for the title of the thread, or all of the words in the thread.



After using it the first time, if you get too much info, you can narrow the search.

I hope that helps!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Ryan

Thanks, from one smart @ss to another

 

Excellent Randy!! Now for every repetitive question posted, I've gonna post a link to this thread. Bravo!!

 

I just searched "How-to" (without the quotes) and nothing came up...

 

Are you using the small yellow font search? I just did the same and pulled up a gazillion threads. Use the search, type how-to, select the Performance Modifications forum and hit the button. Try it again and let me know if it isn't working for you.

Oooops. I didn't even see the small yellow text. Never even knew it was there. I take back everything I said. Man do I feel like an idiot. What is the other search field for?

 

The key thing, which will never make sense until the site is changed, is that in order to search the forums, which is where 99%+ of info on this site is located, you have to avoid the big prominent text box and the big silver SEARCH button (which searches only the handful of press articles and product reviews on the front page), and instead click on the smaller, harder-to-find, small-font word "search." I really think that the vast majority of intended searches are never carried out for this reason.

Mark has run into some compatibility problems with Windows XP when trying to fix this situation. See this thread.

Another problem is that the forum search isn't found on the home page...

 

Will this void my warranty?
