a search tool assist: Google's "site" tool

[Grubester]

Many of you may use this, but I'm throwing it out here for those who haven't heard of it.
If you start at a google search field, you can use the power of google searching, but fully focused on just the Factory Five Forum.

In a google search field, type: site:thefactoryfiveforum.com seat tracks (this is an example searching specifically for 'seat tracks'.)

Notice it does not include 'https:' or '//' -- and also notice the single space before 'seat tracks'. The word or phrase being searched can have spaces, that's okay.

The risk is, that google will look for all occurrences in the Forum for 'seat' and also for 'tracks'. That may be okay, but if you put seat tracks in quotes it will only return items where seat & tracks appear together. example: site:thefactoryfiveforum.com "seat tracks"

Further, you can exclude items in this same search... example: site:thefactoryfiveforum.com "seat tracks" -rebostar (sorry Allyn) this will not include posts by rebostar.
You can use +rebostar and it will especially emphasize rebostar in the search.

In general, this is a powerful searching technique to really comb a website, wherein pages may be found that aren't readily glossed with the site's standard search tool.

I use this all the time. Also, in your seat tracks example, if you put a plus (+) between seat and tracks, eg. seat+tracks, the search will look for posts with both words and they don't have to be together, just both in the post.

G'day Grubester,

Thanks for sharing!!
Noticed this recently, I always type "FFR..... then whatever I'm searching for" then when results pop if you click "more from this site" it does exactly what you are saying above.
