Searching TBN
I must be doing something wrong when searching. I never get results I want unless I search a single word. If searching for front loader, I will get results with only Front or Loader and some that have absolutely no relavence to front loaders. Is there a guide to help make me a better searcher?

Re: Searching TBN
Use the "Google Custom Search" at the top of the page...

Re: Searching TBN
I don't have any "Google Custom Search" at the top of the page.

Re: Searching TBN
Its fairly recent... As I understand, it does not search the Regional forums, the Front Porch or the Friendly Politics forum... Originally Posted by sylwoody

Sorry to give you a bum steer...I use the iPhone app 99% of the time, and we sure don't have the google search feature on the app

Re: Searching TBN
I usually avoid the Google search boxes on sites. Most forum sites I use have decent search built in but TBN must have theirs disabled. Thanks for all the replies, I now have the tools to do a decent search.

Re: Searching TBN
The problem with the built in one is that it is an "OR" search, so if I put in "deere 755" it finds any posts with the word Deere OR the number 755. It is not the more normal AND search which would require that both Deere AND 755 be present to return a post. Originally Posted by JamesKubota

Re: Searching TBN
You are correct, it doesn't search any private forums. Only public forums.
