Since the search function for this site can be a bit slow and cumbersome at times, I've often used google to find what I need. You dont need to input more then 3 characters, if you want threads or posts, how many results you want, and how far back you want to search...just to have the server time out. Just go to google.com, and in the search bar type: site:aurorah.proboards.com (followed by your search term) Like this...Yessir. Best way for a site specific search IMO. Many forum search engines are undesirable and unreliable. |

Thanks for posting! I've gotten used to the Proboards search now, but the Google search does offer a lot more options and potential results.
