How To Search

XJ Stryker · 04-14-2009, 09:22 AM

CherokeeForum.com has a lot of great information. Sometimes the best way to get at that information is through a good search. Here are some steps in order to make an effective search.

Basically you have two types of Search, a Quick Search and an Advanced Search.

Quick Search
If you want to do a quick Search you can just click the word Search in the header bar and then enter the word or words that you want to search on and then press the 'Go' button.

Advanced Search
An Advanced Search though can be a great way to find the information you need. You click on the word Search in the header bar then click on the 'Advanced Search' link which is under the Search box. This will take you to the Advanced Search screen where you can enter more specific criteria on what you would like to search on.

You can search by a lot of different criteria with an advanced search. Some of the popular criteria are Key Words, user name, tags, or search in a specific forum.

Hope this helps!

XJ Stryker · 04-19-2009, 06:32 PM

Bump!!! Lots of posting and NO searching!

ol"blue · 05-27-2009, 08:19 AM

Time for a little reminder?

89PBR96 · 05-27-2009, 08:44 AM

You should put this as a sticky on the top of every page with a title before you post read this

okcjeeper · 05-27-2009, 08:46 AM

Sure we did that with the forum rules. Do folks actually read those???

89PBR96 · 05-27-2009, 08:52 AM

I don't think so i browsed threw them when i joined but this forum is set up just like the local forum iv'e been on for over a year so i just wingit lol but this forum is alot bigger than my local one i see the problem with the same ?'s over and over

rosszh · 09-02-2009, 11:54 PM

is there a way to force it to include common words? a search for "dana 35" isn't very specific when it leaves out the "35" because it's too common. or "tow package" and it leaves out "tow"

add parenthesis around your search words. i just tested it.

"tow package"

Look i think its good to ask the same question over and over because it gives the poeple who asked the question and got the answer (noob) to answer a question for another noob a month later. Also, is it like were running out of room to post? and its not like people who want to post arent spending an hour going thru the tech section looking to prove their knowledge. I think bumps on my old posts or more annoying when someone has a question. By now every question has to have been asked/done/or answered by everyones will be different and they need the interaction of someone speaking directly to them, directly about their issue. + its somewhat difficult to search-i looked up dual battery the other day and i got dually axels-battery problems-new battery-dual beer hat holders pics, kinda difficult.

Just throwin that out there stryker, your doin great tho.

I'm just kinda looking out for the newbies here...

Maybe we should take this this time to think about what our forum is all about, to help out our fellow Jeepers! Hey now, just try to remember back when navigating though this forum was a job, in and of itself. I remember well how overwhelming all this was. Most of my posts where about when my rig wouldn't start and i was late for work. I didn't really have the time or patience to do much of a thread search most of the time. So, i can empathize.

Granted, i'm no NAXJA guru, but i have learned from other forums to just be patient with the "newbies", and try not to demeanor anyone. This will just run them off. I have no problem on doing a thread search for them and just copying and pasting a section of a previous post. Only from experience will they get a "feel" for the forum, ya know?

If things get real bad here, just send them over to...
http://www.cherokeetalk.com/forum/

Really, i think this forum is GREAT!!!
and that's just my 2cents.
