NewZed Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 One reason left to use the site's search engine instead of using Google and "site:hybridz.org" is the "Find Author" tool. But the 4 letter limit on word size kind of kills that usefulness also. Just tried to search OBX and a user name but couldn't do it. OBX is too small. Other useful three letter acronyms and words are KYB, LSD, NOS, OEM, MSA, DIY, oil, L28, L26, L24, Z31, Z32, SBC, BBC, LS1, LS2, LS3, LSX, FPR, HEI, low, S30, and WTB. All fairly useful and specific. Example - someone posted on low oil pressure. With the user name and "low oil pressure", the odds of finding the thread are pretty good. Without low and oil though, you have to search pressure alone which will give many more results to wade through. Same with OBX or HEI or KYB. Pretty specific terms, but not allowed. Just a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls240z Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I agree, but I've been able to sort of get around the problem by enclosing the search in quotations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceVance Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Google search (i.e. keyword site:HybridZ.off) is vastly superior to the forum search bots, and can search as few letters as you like. Decreasing the limit would be nice though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
