    Search Options

    Is there any way you can search a complete sentence or multiple words on the forum?

    If I use the 'Advanced Search' option and type in 'block egr crd' in 'Search Titles Only' it returns all titles that contain either 'block', 'egr' or 'crd'. Unfortunately not very user friendly.

    I'm looking for the post called something like 'You Look Like The Guy From' and can't find it either.
    Cheers

    Gday jack,

    Depends on what you are looking for. To use any search engine like how you are describing, put the words or sentence inside parenthesis (Quotation marks) " bla bla bla "

    I did a search using "block egr crd" and it found this very post but none others.

    Try changing your search terms to widen the search or if you know of a specific unique word or sentence then use that.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,

    Rob

    WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.

    Thanks Rob, I’ve already tried using parentheses without success. I know there is a lookalike thread on here that hasn’t been posted in for sometime and I’ve tried just about everything to find it.
    Hate to say it but I like the search algorithm on Patrol 4x4
    Cheers

    Thanks Cuppa, but that doesn't help with simplifying the search process. I often see members recommend to new members to use the 'search function' but that's not much help.
    Maybe a job for @AB

    You really like poking the bear with a sharp stick, don't you Jack. Remember what happens when Andy tinkers with the forum!!!!
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    You would probably find the search function between us and them exactly the same, they actually use an older version of vBulletin than what we do. Maybe its because someone on there has tagged there post and on here it hasn't been tagged.

    Using google itself is better in this configuration.

    Egr block crd site:www.nissanpatrol.com.au

    If you know who which user said the exact piece of info you're looking for, just add the username to it.
    It must end with "site:www.etc etc.com.au" Google will only search on web page added.
    Don't forget the colon : after 'site'
