I'm fairly positive I'm just being stupid but could somebody explain how the "SEARCH" bar works on the forum. I've hung around on the forum for a few years now and earlier this year I finally made an account and I wish I would have sooner but now I just cant figure out how to search things and its driving me crazy!
So I go to the search bar and type in what I'm looking for, then click search and every time it just shows me either the most recent posts or possibly the most popular threads. Now I don't expect it to be as accurate and smooth as Google but I at least expect it to give me results similar to what I just searched. I don't believe I'm being to specific either because it's the same if I was to search "lift" or "no start" which I'm fairly positive there is a thread title out there that has those exact words in it. I don't know, I'm probably just being dumb but any help you could give me would greatly reduce my recent high stress level lol! Thanks Guys!

Well, if you guys are done hugging it out...
You have that vacuum heater valve junk still in there? Sounds logical that it was trapping Sludge of the Ages (the same Sludge that originally overheated the Ark of the Covenant) and you just undid that nice shiny radiator. Also the smashed up A/C rad thingy (whatever the technical term is. Condensor?) blocking air is good. Can you set it aside for a cruise and see if that makes a difference?
Also, the hell are you doing turning on heat in the middle of July? You drive to work with no doors on in January... This woman is changing you, man, LJ or no...
Also this. My favorite method, as it works from my ****-tastic out of date phone.
You are basically correct that the in-site search tool is useless. It appears to be a simple OR match on posts within a thread, sorted by date.

I think that was my entire system when I got the jeep. "Rust Free!" Bulldoodies, it was in my cooling system. The crap I drained out on the first flush is currently being scrutinized by NASA for the origins of the solar system, by the DOD for possible weaponization, and by big pharma as a promising cure for cancer, diabetes, and occasional lower back pain.

Ok so I wasn't doing something wrong. Thanks that's basically what I've been doing, just type into Google "Cherokeeforum" then follow that with what I want to search. From what I understand that's basically what everyone's saying to do right?

Ask the Question Thread
I'm glad you got an answer, but this is not technically the proper thread section to post about a Google search (being that this is the ask the question thread I'm not saying it was wrong for you to post here) since it is in the OEM Cherokee Tech section. There are sections for non Cherokee questions.
