Is there a search function?

I am trying to find a thread I posted in ATC about fixing some loose cleats and my Carver, and can seem to find it by going back through the pages.

Is there any way to search for it, or other threads by content, username, etc?

Thanks.
 
You must search for the search function. Hint, look at the bottom of this page.
 
Wow, thank you!

I am embarassed to admit how long I looked for that thing!

This brings up a topic I think this forum could use some improvement on and that is the SEARCH functionality.

This board has very knowledgeable participants AND vendors who help each other in every way possible. This IS the first place I go to with a question and will often find myself just starting a thread before researching and answer to the question first because of the people involved - YOU!

However, if there is a weakness it is the SEARCH function and its inability to search multiple word searches and its inability to narrow the focus of the search to subjects and/or forums and/or date ranges, etc. I'm sure it has something to do with the database the forum was originally set up on.

Edited to correct massive spelling errors :o)
 
marlinmikea:

fwiw: There are two (2) search functions available. As a subscriber you have access to the other search tool. Look in the "ROs menu" pull-down menu for "subscriber section".

the original poster is a non-subscriber and has access to the bottom of the page search function ( only ).
 
The search functions at BE are cumbersome. Too many keystrokes. Won't let you chose between text in posts and thread title. Of course some thread titles are not very meaningful, anyway.
 
here is the way I do it..

Go to google.
Type in boatered loose cleat

Should go right there.

Yep. That works for me as well.

See - that's what I'm talkin' about. You always learn something new.

Have done the Google thing before but the "subscriber section" is new to me.

Thanks!!
