Buckshot Bear Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 No offence intended, but the search function of this forum leaves much to be desired. Much much easier and best results are obtained I've found by just using Google and typing in - SASS Wire then whatever you're look for i.e 'SASS Wire shotgun' https://www.google.com/search?q=sass+wire+shotgun+site:forums.sassnet.com&sxsrf=AOaemvJbuzjgSg3DOIDr7M1N6mo5uA1HfQ:1634610847953&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjSlMD3t9XzAhWCA3IKHZJED8YQrQIoBHoECAYQBQ&biw=1920&bih=947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrel Cody Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 yeah agree I typically just type into whatever browser's address bar something like: site:sassnet.com sass wire shotgun the prefix https://google.com isn't really needed and only use quotes if you need something exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 The search function on this site is awful. Even though you know something was posted and use a varity of search terms that were in the post looking for that post the search function either turns up nothing or something irrelevant. If I remember I'll try Tyrel's suggestion the next time I am looking for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kloehr Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 More shortcuts: https://www.google.com/advanced_search All of them can be typed in the search bar, but this page makes it all pointy-clicky. You can also use google search as a calculator. To get unit conversions. Track packages (it recognizes tracking numbers from the major shippers), and more. I always search forums from a search engine, none of the forums have decent search functions built in to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Wow, that is great. Guess I can start throwing out my 3 x 5 index card system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Yup, I've found the SASS search to be almost useless. You can type in 4 of 5 words you know to be correct from a topic title, and it brings up every topic related the individual words resulting in hundreds of suggestions. Or, it may show nothing at all. Arghh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
