Glad to help. This page can also help you with some advanced searching, including searching a specific domain

SOOS my friend...I see that after 7years, 4k posts you finally made it to ELITE Member.....I did it in like 4 years...Guess i win!!!
So Mike..Why dont you take this up with the higher ups and see if they can start a sticky on "How to use the search button?"
Seriously though i havent used the useless search feature since i asked the question "Is my wifes A$$ to big for this seat" question and dint get one answer....Hah?Maybe i dint use it right?
What happens if you search..."How do you search???"

If you know a simple trick, it makes searching the site really easy and useful.

add "site:hdforums.com" to your google search term and you get great results.

Here's an example: http://www.google.com/search?q=remap...hrome&ie=UTF-8
WTH, who told you that you could come into this perfectly hostile thread and ram useful information up are *****?









Actually I really like that search hint you gave, thanks
