I have to be completely stupid. i have never been able to make that thing work. even the google badweb thing wont work for me. to the point that i even try and search my own posts and it says there are none. ya ok.

i was trying to find the post from when i first put pics of my bike after the rebuild on here. it was a huge thread. was sure it was "Ultimate Streetfighter" maybe a the infront of it, but for the life of me this thing keeps saying i have hardly ever written anything on here.

i even was going to just go look through the archives, but it skips from january 06 to like july 06. that doesnt help me either because it was in between somewhere. *(&%^^*

How did you find it Toona? Maybe you can give him (and me too) a better idea for a search strings.

I'm not defendin the search engine, it can take some patience and a lot of reading to find things sometimes.

The search sucks, but the google feature works well.

Seriously this board has the worse search function of any board I've ever belonged to. I generally find what I'm looking for though.

I am wondering if people are using the " Search" function to perform searches.

While this may appear to be a reasonable thing to do, it isn't.

You might want to try the Google BadWeB function instead. I believe it is a more capable program.

Thoughts?

Tim, I did the search by entering the words "No_rice,ultimate streetfighter"

I used the option to search for exact words only. This narrowed down the search result and made it easier. The search engine is very picky with wording I have noticed.

I like the pic's especially the Nitrous setup you have. I am looking at getting the wet kit from cold fusion this summer.
