Hi There,

When I'm trying to use the advanced search for topics under "CAC" or "F37", I get no search results (bogus!). Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I like using google for advance searches for websites

site:http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5 cac

site:http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5 f37

Using the forums search tool, I would select the "Liberty CRD...Love that Torque!!!" as the forum to search, and then only search for one term at a time, CAC or f37

I forgot about this until after I posted the first way

Say you just want to search for CAC in the title(in google)

allintitle:cac site:http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5

I think the forum search here doesn't allow terms of three characters or less. :roll:

You need to use google like click23 suggests.

One day I saw the Advance search link on Google, and I started playing around. In the future if you just want to restrict the search to the "Liberty CRD...Love that Torque!!!" section use site:http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5 but if you are wanting to search all forums use site:http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum
