try this. 1. in google type site:vaultofevil.proboards.com 2. add the name of the author you're looking for: example site:vaultofevil.proboards.com charles birkin press the search button and you're in business ************** here's the previous guide. both still work, though, as has been pointed out, the threads relaing to this board seem to have disappeared completely from the custom search engine in the past week. what goes on?   fig A: Google Custom SearchYou've a choice, neither of them are infallible, but the Google Custom Search (fig A) is your best option. Not only does it get better results, it also trawls our old board and all the WordPress stuff, and all in double-quick time. The biggest flaw i've found with this method - it doesn't like sub-boards. The alternative is Proboards built-in search engine, takes more effort and, as the site has grown, it's performance has been .... patchy-to-crap. For those who've not used it before: 1. Hit the search icon at the top of the page. 2. Type in who or what you're looking for then scuttle down to the bottom of the page and you'll find: Posted Within the last: Hours _ Days _By default this is set to 7 days. Change the "7" to "700" or more ('cause we've been here nearly 2 years at time of posting) and then hit Search! |
