I'm confused with the search - are some terms not search-able?
I've been trying to search "drive" or "driving" but no matter how i set the options in the search, i get the old "No topics or posts met your search criteria"
I'm snowed - whats going on? I feel like i've been taking crazy pills. _________________ May of '72 Deluxe. 2.0L L-Jet CS & 091 trans conversion

Is there a way to search for users by geographic location? I know many members list their location, and it might be helpful if one is stranded and looking to contact locals if he/she could search by current location. _________________ Learn how your vintage VW works. And why it doesn't!

Everett,
Where is the coveted FAQ section the "use the search" crew points everybody to? I found it once, somehow, and haven't been able to since. Only the faq section about username stuff.
Hell, i'll never find this post again to see your reply to be honest, but in the rare chance I do, thanks for the help!

IF using GOOGLE custom search preface it with "thesamba.com:searchstring"... That is " thesambe.com:" (a colon) and then "search string"...

The changes I made Sunday AM did not work to speed up the search of the site.
I added that to see if making "Title Only" the default would help alleviate some of the search speed issues on the site.
It helped but not enough so I had to take off the internal Forums search and change it to be a Google Search of the Forums for now.
I hope to re-enable it in the future.
For now the checkbox does nothing because it just redirects you into Google searching the site instead. _________________ How to Post Photos

The Google search never shows a search box for me to enter a query. So it's not working all that well. _________________ Currently -> Frida: 87 Tizian Red (mostly) Vanagon GL Westfalia w/ 2.0L ABA conversion
