Issues with searching in these forums
« on: July 29, 2008, 01:53:28 PM »
Can we please do something to indicate exactly where one should enter their subject for a search?  It isn't obvious that one needs to go out to the broader "SOHC/4 Bikes" page or the "Tech Forums" page or "The Single Overhead Cam 4 Forums" page in order to do a search of multiple threads.  Also the ghosted out "Google Custom Search" box is misleading as well.  We all groan when a newbie asks a question that has been answered a million times already and groan even more when they claim to have already tried to search the subject.  Not knowing what to search for is certainly part of the problem but the current search setup most definitely adds to the confusion.  How about having the "button" that you click on to search say "Search This Thread" or "Search Posts in SOHC/4 Bikes" or "Search Posts in the Tech Forums" or "Search the Internet" (in the case of the Google search)??  Hows about it?
