I'm not satified at all with the function of FSM's "Search Forum" feature.

I have no idea how these thing's are designed.

I use a regular browser search with the term Finescale Modeler and whatever the subject is that I'm searching for.

It works very quickly.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Good tip, Bill.

I used to get all bent out of shape because the forum search here is so bad. No longer. If I were the forum owner, I don't think I'd spend the money on an improved search function either.

You post gave me an idea. Though I often use Google to search for stuff I'm researching here at FSM, I have been frustrated from time to time not being able to find some old thread of mine or another.

You just made me think. Three keywords; my username, 'finescale' and the subject has pulled up each one so far. Thanks. Yes

I always use Google and search "cs.finescale" + whatever I'm searching for.  Learned that trick over on the model railroader forum.  It works.  The consensus is that the forum search does not work as a user would assume.
