How to use Google instead of built-in search to search the forums
Since we all know the search feature on this (and all bulletin boards) is pretty limited, here is a way to use google as your cannabis.com search engine.
First: Open Google
Second: Type whatever you want to search for in the box. Lets say our search is going to be for "Low Stress Training"
Third: After you type what you're searching for, put a space, then type "site:http://boards.cannabis.com". (yes, you can use it for other sites, simply change the URL)
Thats it. So in summary, to use google to search for low stress training on the boards, you would type "Low stress training site:http://boards.cannabis.com"
Here is a link to the results you would get for such a search. Search Results

Thank you! The search on the forums doesn't always work that great for me. I can type in "new bubbler" and the thread I'm looking for won't even be on the first page some times! Even when "New Bubbler  " is the thread name!

Haha, as much as I bitch about people not using google and the search feature I never thought about using it to search this site in place of the built in search feature. This search feature is pointless. It seems like every post shows up in it no matter what you type into it.

In the eyes of a ranger,
The unsuspected stranger
Had better know the truth of wrong from right,
Cause the eyes of a ranger are upon you,
Any wrong you do he's gonna see,
When youre in Texas look behind you,
Cause that's where the rangers are gonna be

You can also do that by clicking "Advanced Search" and putting Cannabis.com under the "Return results from the site or domain," box.

Great info. Thanks a bunch. It also works with other search engines, not just google. And don't type the quotation marks like I did the first time.
Do like this
Don't do "like this"

How about if Cannabis.com just added the code for the Google search engine into the site? It would be at the bottom of each page with a box to check either a. search www or b. search cannabis.com This would be much easier than typing http://cann...every time a person wanted to perform a search. I mean, stoners should not have to type a web address every time they want to perform a search. The deck is stacked against us as it is

Cut and paste is fine if you are just searching, but I usually have my clipboard full of other stuff for posting while I am searching. MULTITASK, BABY!
