    Quick question.
    I was going to do a search about a timing light, i either lost/misplaced/somebody borrowed mine. i guess its time for a new one, i got it when i was 16, I'm 62 now.Any way when i tried to put in the word "timing light" it would take me away from the site, to a "search encrypt"? Now i admit i am like my friend Don, being an analog man in a Digital world. I was using the magnifying glass icon?
    I just wanted to see what folks on here used, cause dang it i gots to buy another.
    But my question is is that the way the site is set up, to go to a different site/search?
    Of course it could/probably is me?

    Maybe you have some kind of weird search toolbar virus malware crap on your computer?

    Search works fine for me. But I also have my browser set up pretty tight to avoid weird things happening to it--like I disable 3rd party cookies, I use adblock, I'm real careful about what software I install on my computer, etc.

    They used to.

    Banking of the false sense of security that many Mac users have, those who would do harm have moved into the cyber crime, data theft and ransomware market.

    Nowadays, if you have a Mac, and you are not running antivirus software, it is only a matter of time before you take a hit.

    Fortunately, my Mac is old enough that I can't connect it to the internet (I don't have a phone line any more), so I don't have to worry about it.

    As for the OPs question...I don't have a clue about what goes wrong with modern Macs. Sorry.

    I don't know anything about macs. I know mac is proprietary so maybe the mac explorer thingy needs to be reset? Or something like that,,,

    I have a Dell desktop and it started doing the same thing a few weeks back. Before that the search worked fine.

    Hello,

    The search function of HAMB works fine. It might have been on the search page, but maybe you typed in “timing light” in the actual website search bar. Where the normal Google search is done. https://

    That is a common mistake, instead of using the HAMB search page and tab. I followed my own instructions and got 25 answers on “Timing Light.”
    1. upload_2019-5-6_3-53-23.png

    If you don’t check the box search titles only, then there are over 7 pages of timing light answers and 194 possible answers strictly from the HAMB. Here is one last probably answer: When you did type in “timing light”, your sensitive mouse pad moved the pointer to Google search instead of site results. Then you own computer takes over for a search on their information or lack of…

    It took me a while to actually figure out how sensitive the search function is on the HAMB. If I type “What did you see, today?” As a normal spelling sentence/question is typed, hoping to go to that thread, there is no definitive thread. There are only a bunch of “maybe” sites on the HAMB. Why?

    The spelling the way a normal person would type is “What did you see, today?” (this is no the grammar police, but normal High School English writing…with or without the comma) But, the original HAMB thread is misspelled or the grammar is incorrect and that throws the whole thing into a tailspin. The search is directly related to correct spelling or the spelling the original thread post was typed in a long time ago. So, the original posted thread title is “What you see today?” So, typing makes a difference.

    We all have grammar police built in to our word processors and there is also a spell check built in place. But, re-reading the title or post for errors is always a good part of writing. If in doubt, type it in Google search and it will usually give a correct answer.
