No forum search feature here on PPCGeeks?

I *know* I must be missing the search feature and that it must be staring me in the face, but can't find it. Might be my browser, but doesn't seem so. Is there a way to search the forums? I am trying to find a thread I stumbled on earlier. As well, want to start another thread but want to see if the topic is already covered in another thread. But again, don't see it anywhere in the main forum pages or other pages. Any ideas?

Re: No forum search feature here on PPCGeeks?

Take this link with a grain of salt when you click it, it's just for fun!
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tf3d2+themes+site%3Appcgeeks.com

Ok, now I'll be serious. Just as a tip, sometimes I can't find things on this site when I use the built in search feature, so I use google to search it. Sometimes it's because your search term has to have words with a minimum of 3 letters. So searching for "Sprint TV" is difficult because you can't search the word "TV".

So go to google, type in your search term and put this after it. site: ppcgeeks.com
Just don't put the space between the : and the ppcgeeks.com The only reason I typed it with the space is so the : and the first P in the site name didn't make one of these.

Hope that helps you find all the cool stuff on here!

Re: No forum search feature here on PPCGeeks?

clicked advanced search and you can highlight one or multiple forums to search in...

also, "titles only" makes your searches easier as well...

plus like they said, look under the page numbers in a given thread "search this thread" is right there too.. same as forum pages.. top right coner just above the view and post counts

Re: No forum search feature here on PPCGeeks?

Here's an ironic twist. You can use your browser's search function to find the word "search" on the page. It's the first one you come across.

For the newsradio fans...(Bill: "Using the search function to find the search function. Delicious.")

This only works with IE.

In Firefox, if you're scrolled down below the Search link it will find anything else on the page that has search in it prior to going to the beginning of the page.

Re: No forum search feature here on PPCGeeks?

Try my custom search engine here: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=01...yyqz72fk&hl=en
This will search both PPcgeeks and XDA only.

True; the solution is to just scroll to the top of the page and start your search there. That's what I did.
