Default K&B SEARCH???

Would anyone know how to find info on K&B engines. Everytime I do
a search for K&B I get no record in system. If I search for Veco I get
info for both Veco & K&B. I'm trying to lookup info on K&B 6.5, 7.5,
and 82 engines.

Go to MECOA on the web, they own K&B and can help you out.

You're right. I can't get anything to show up either. I'll bet that W8YE has found a workaround for this. I'll keep working on trying to find a way to get the search to work.

The search engine is the one thing I'd like to see improved here at RCU. It needs to be able to search two letter/number entries like OS, AX, FP, K&B, 61, 46, etc. It will find AX55, but not AX .55, for example.

Nice to know MECOA Site. Can't find what I'm looking for there.
I hope someone looks into the K&B (and other) Search issue here.

If you are using Firefox you can add a Google/RCU Search Engine Plugin to your browser:

This is the way to do it!

OK! "Web Results 11 - 20 of about 2,250 from www.rcuniverse.com for K & B"

LOL - I really was looking for, that much infomation.

Ron, see my post above. You can use Google to search only the RCU forums.

Super old thread but this is a recurring question that I have not seen a clear answer for.

the trick is to type it as a string, meaning include the quotes in the search field - type "k&b"

You will get everything k&b that way. - otherwise the search engine thinks you are doing a boolean search for anything with a k and a b because it treats the & as an operator not a character you want to search for

Well Google tends to search the forum better than the forum search engine does. Bing probably is better at it too.
If MECOA doesn't have what you are after, then I don't know what you could be looking for.

Nah... I get my K&B stuff from Clarence Lee. It runs better and the price is spot on. Don't forget what I told you about the ampersand character and you won't need those snooping profiling search engines.
