How do you do it again? I mean other than clicking the tab and typing what you want. I thought JJ or Corwynn had found the "secret" way of entering info to get the results you wanted, not just a hodge podge of recent threads, none of which dealt with what you were wanting to find. Anybody remember?

Thanks

Mike

OK for all the new members (and you too Mike) the easiest way to try and narrow down search results with the default phpBB search function is to use the 'and' modifier in your search. So lets say I was going to look for 'jba 12 inch lift', I type it in just like that and I get 10145 matches :shock: :o :shock: Now I add in the 'and' modifier so my search string is (bold added for emphasis) 'jba and 12 and inch and lift' and I get back 29 matches - much easier to look through for information 8)

Another option is to use google and enter site:Lostkjs.com and then what you are looking for.

Example: site:Lostkjs.com jba 12 inch which returns six (6) results.
(Thanks to Maximum Carnage and a couple of other folks for pointing that one out).
