Forum/Site search Inop.

I've been trying to use the forum search feature lately, but only get a database error page. I've tried many different types of searches, on a variety of forums, and it's been the same result. Wanted to let you know

Forum searches, in every forum I've ever joined, have been universally awful. They are there simply to test your frustration level.

The way to search a forum is a Google search.

Go to Google.

Type your search terms followed by site:skoolie.net ... for example:

"Roof raise site:skoolie.net" without the quote marks.

This works for every site as it directs Google to simple search a single website

Yep- Twigg beat me to it! We all simply use google + skoolie to search.

The forum search is... well, lame. It's a keyword search only. There's a new google search up at the top of the page now (desktop only) which may help a bit.

Nice addition, Janet.

Very cool...thanks Janet!
