RE: Search Results..........

You can use Google to search this site, rather than relying on the forum software to do the job. I'm pretty sure this works on any forum.

Copy and paste the following into the search field at Google.com:

bike of the month site:hdforums.com

You'll see that all threads related to thebike of the month show in your search results.

Likewise, if you put quotations around the search subject matter (like this: "bike of the month"), your search results will contain the exact phrase inside the quotations, provided a thread/post with that exact phrase exists. You can see how that works by copying and pasting the following into the search field at Google.com:

"i love this website" site:hdforums.com

All threads/posts with the phrase "i love this website" will display, and at the time of me typing this, there was just one.

RE: Search Results..........

Not just you...the search function is painful at best. Some simple searches will trigger "not found" pop-up. Aggravating because there is so much good info here.
