Broke dick search function impedes my ability to make fun of other people.

Seriously, the search 'engine' (I use the term loosely, like its mom) for this website could not be any worse if it had the herp. And full blown AIDS. I type in extremely simple words that I *KNOW* are apart of certain posts that I clearly remember, and come up shorter than Blaezenfury on a cold day. Hell, just a few minutes ago I went looking for "text" in thread titles, and NOTHING came up, even though "texts from last night" is clearly on the front fucking page of the Screenshots forum!

Searching a couple years ago? Might as well forget about it. Dig out those page numbers and start reminiscing about old times as you forget what it is you were looking for a good 8 hours later. Searching posts by a specific user? You'd have a better chance at your mom spontaneously turning into a bull, and then fucking you.

Anyway. All of this severely hampers my ability to point out past discussions or topics that have already been beaten to hell and back. This is clearly an outrage, so I am outraged. I trust the good mods around here agree that this is an unacceptable breach of namecalling activity.

Hrmmmm now why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel.

Isn't it possible to tell Google to only search a particular website, somehow?

James · 05-26-2009, 04:26 PM

I'm not sure google search would be any better. I think fohguild.org used to be able to be google searched, but I recall it being unwieldy, and gay.

Site:fohguild.org in google works really good for finding stuff. I do it all the time.

Seems to work great! "James is a homosexual" returned 278 items. Sounds about right.

this, and you can also narrow it down to a particular form with the full url ie

"site:http://www.fohguild.org/forums/general "whatever you're looking for"

will search only in general

Anyone have a link handy on how to edit the built in firefox 3.5 search box? I want to add site:fohguild.org as one of the search engines, but I can't seem to find how to do this for 3.5. I know I've done it in older versions, but 3.5 seems to require a new method/addon.

Thanks

Maybe if you didn't spam so much you'd have less of a hard time finding your old posts ;-)
