Topic: Searching Forums?

Is there a way to search the forums by keyword or something similar?  I'd hate to ask a redundant question that has already been answered.

Just below the large word FORUMS up top is a row of smaller text that begins INDEX USER LIST RULES... that includes a link for SEARCH. That link searches just the forums.

Re: Searching Forums?

Not just search - there's tons of information in threads people have already started.


I lurked here for about a year and a half before I registered to ask questions. Even so, I still missed some things I could have found out if I spent more time searching; and I asked questions that had been recently answered because I was initially only reading the "Active Topics" threads.


I then started deep diving into the various sub-headings, looking for threads that interested me. I wound up focusing on the threads that had the most posts associated with it - they seemed to have the most detail.


And then there are the epic builds.

You may want to look at this recent thread:

I bought a Rolls Royce and want to build it.

Re: Searching Forums?

Tip, since the search features of most forums is really bad. Use google. Type whatever your search criteria is, then add "site:forums.24hoursoflemons.com"

you'll get results from only that page. You can use it for any website.
