Search feature????
 
While attempting to locate some information on a Goldberg Extreme 330 I used the search feature to no avail. I then posted a thread regarding the information I was looking for. This morning I went to the forum I posted this thread to (Fun Fly, Profile) and noticed a previous thread on the same subject. While in the profile forum I went to the search box and typed in "Goldberg Extreme 330" and ran a search and it came up with 2 pages of results that had nothing to do with the subject.

What am I doing wrong?

I am having the same problem. I type something in the search box, click search and get page after page of stuff on [] by Anyone...

It's not you, it's the search engine. I have been having the same problem for about 3 weeks...of course, until now I thought I must not be doing somthing right!:)

Make sure you're using the search button on the right side. (With FAQ, Member List, Inbox, etc...)
It's the only search that's worth using, really.

Using the search term quoted, as you have it, and selecting "advanced search", and selecting
"Search terms found in subject", you can narrow the search down nicely [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/searchpro3.asp?phrase=%22Goldberg+Extreme+330%22&a dvancedMatch=on&forumid=ALL&product=&topicreply=co mbined&message=subject&author=&timeframe=%3E&timef ilter=0&language=single&top=300&minRank=10&sortMet hod=d&submitbutton=+OK+]like this[/link].


(Edited to note that the search works the same way whether you quote it or not. I had
someone tell me that the other day, but I finally remembered to check it out for myself.)

C_Watkins,
Thank you! It works much better now.

quotes don't work. do not use them. go to advanced search page and to search by phrase use the drop down menu on that page to select "search by phrase"
