Search function sucks!

[MossRoad]

It's sad, because there is so much information here that is pretty much inaccessible.

What are you looking for?

Doubling up on the 'what are you searching for' question because I think it works quite well here. I rarely have trouble finding what I was looking for.

Nothing at the moment, but whenever I tried searching for something, it never worked and returned totally obscure threads. Of course it doesn't help that many thread titles are poorly worded. "I need Help!" or "How Do I deal with this?" or "What is This?"

My lady friend often asks such questions from the other room, and I always reply, I know you think I'm Superman, but I don't have X-Ray vision.

Give an example so we can test it.

Let's say, "PTO shaft Vibration" or for better search "PTO Vibration"

I specified, Titles only and got a page of PTO related threads, but no vibration.

Use the google search at the top of the page that I circled in red and see what results you get.

I do get good results from this site but stuff from all over the internet as well. What is the purpose of the Tractorbynet search function?

What's so hard? There's a built-in Google search right at the top of the forum.

My header looks nothing like that. There is no Google search option. I recall there used to be.

It was pre-google, if you can imagine that.

Maybe ad-blocker software prevents it from showing up? I don't know why it isn't showing up for you. :confused3:
