i need to look here more often! now imma try the google thing!

Even better if you use "site search...
In google just type the topic plus site: then the website
i.e.

36 ford site:jalopyjournal.com/forum/ in a normal google search
to search the HAMB,

Just change the words before site to search for some thing else

belly tank site:jalopyjournal.com/forum/

if you want to search just the classifieds use
36 Ford classifieds site:jalopyjournal.com/forum
to search another site just add the specfic site after the colon.
i.e.
36 Ford site:craigslist.org
If you want to search craigslist in seattle
36 Ford site:seattle.craigslist.org

In fact you don't even need to use google, you can just type the topic and site: plus URL into the address bar on your browser....on Firefox you can , I presume explorer is the same.
You can also use the exclamation marks and other search techniques within the "site" if the words or numbers are too short .

Yeah...what he said! Would it be possible to add a zipcode function, so you could sniff for parts w/in a certain range ring? At $4.25/gal, I'm really starting to limit the distance I cruise for parts! Thanks,

Hi there .... This section is for questions and suggestions about the forum , your question is best posted on the main board .

So why is it that when I do a search and 20 pages of results pop up and I go to click on page 2 of my results I get a message saying "sorry no results. try using different words in your search"?

I have tried, but can't figure it out.

I would like my search results listed in descending chronological order.

Example: I use the search string carb*

This will give me threads with carb, carburetor, carburator, carburetter (also the unwanted carbon), etc.; however the order is unknown to me. I have to physically search 5~10 pages of results looking for those in bold (since my last search). Inbetween the bold results, there may be threads in which the last post was yesterday or the day before.

So if the option existed "since my last search" I would receive no results before the last time I issued that search; OR if I could order the results in descending chronological order, I could then just read until there were no more results in bold.

Thanks in advance.

Jon.
