Okay...as the title says, this is an easy way to search CF...stumbled upon it recently. So...you can do a google search of the site by typing in a bunch of them pesky words in your search bar....or, you can just use the new feature Google has decided to put in your search results! Type "cherokee forum" into the Google home page, and you get this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=cher...x-a&channel=sb

See the box that says "results from cherokeeforum.com"? Type what you are looking to find in that box. Google will pull all the results from that box, and list them for your viewing convenience...isn't technology awesome??!!??

I will be posting this in several areas of the site, per request of the mods. Maybe it can be made a sticky for future reference? So...hope this helps people out...happy hunting!

 

Neat!

You can also skip that screen and go directly to the search results by just adding "site:cherokeeforum.com" to your search. For example, if you're searching for the mother of all oil threads, you might search:

"rotella site:cherokeeforum.com"

The "site:" tag just restricts the search to the site you enter after it, in this case cherokeeforum.com. It should work for most websites.

Either way you do it is vastly superior to the built-in message board search.
