A better way to search the forums
FrozenVapors:
Very good advice!
Ooops:
--- Quote from: Steveoh x ---SMF Forums are great. I love the software. But the search function can be pretty dismal.
So, a better way to search is to go to google: [urlx[/url]
Type in:
site:gatewaytoairguns.org <what you want to search for minus the brackets> such as:
site:gatewaytoairguns.org sumatra .25 carbine
Much, much better results.

Steveoh, thank you, thank you, thank you. I've just spent a month researching two guns and I've spent hours wading through hundreds of unrelated posts to get what I want. This will save me so much grief.
You da man

There's a search engine on this site? WOW! I saw that thing up in the corner and tried it, useless...........now if I could just figure out how to post pics without jumping through a dozen hoops, going off site, etc, etc, etc........you get the picture (or not as in my case :()

I stumbled across a prime example just a few minutes ago.
keywords:
search 1: forum search for "how to reset scope"
search 2: forum search for "reset scope"
search 3: google search for "site:gatewaytoairguns.org reset scope"
quote marks not included in the search strings
results:
search 1: nuttin'
search 2: nuttin'
search 3: http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=29830.msg274330#msg274330
Exactly the answer I needed.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO SEARCH!!! THANKS STEVEOH! The search function on this forum is the worst I've seen on the internet. The Google Site Search is a big help. Thanks for the tip!
