the Search box...it WORKS. WOOHOO!

[ToyotaNSaturn]

I typed something in, it found things w/o interrogating me about dates, times, ages, sibling rivalries, cholesterol level and seating position just to return a search.

It's REALLY nice that this works.

Yay.

I never had a problem with the old search. I never use just the search box though, I always use advanced.

 

[moribundman]

I make other people search for me.

 

[StevieC]

I always go to Google and type in the search box the following:

site bobistheoilguy.com "Search terms here without quotations"

Example: site bobistheoilguy.com Amsoil SSO UOA

Finds whatever I want all the time.

 

[ZZman]

I wish it's default range was at least 6 months or 1 year

Punched in "drunken" - works like it should!

drunken

THAT IS SERIOUSLY GOOD NEWS!! Better than mori coming back, sorta.

You know you can use quotes in google to find a phrase. Using a '+' means it has to have what ever it is next to and '-' means it cannot have.
"Some phrase you want to find" +wordmusthave -worddonotwant

I only get 50 search results max.

I'd say it still sucks!

I tried it with "Malathion" and it is indeed relatively bug-free.

If you're looking for a particular item and search for it based on a word, you can get a thousand results back several years! With a 50 item limit, it can go back as little as 3 months.

The search feature SUCKS on this website. I can't find posts from several years back!

 

[Colt45ws]

Hmm, thats interesting, I didnt notice that before. You are right 50 is hardly enough.

 

[Drew99GT]

Search for "Mobil 1"; it goes back to yesterday. That's it!

 

[Pablo]

You guys have a pornt. I guess I tend to tailor my searches a bit.

Your search for 'mori+remote' returned 50 results.

 

[oilyriser]

Try searching for OIL:

There are no results for your query. Please try a broader range of search criteria.

 

[Colt45ws]

In this case its probably TOO broad. It probably matches on every post in the oil section.

 

[Gary Allan]

It used to say that no matter how many words I put in there. Quotes + ..you name it. Just to test how it works now, I just put in the word downtime while setting the date limits ..and found the thread I was looking for right away.

Searches for three and fewer letter words are probably blocked due to the potential to have too many hits. However, one site sponsor tends to name their products with three letter codes.

Injector Rx? IRx?
