Easier way to search the site - for newcomers

[Phalse]

Hey all,
I see a lot of duplicate postings about common questions when new people come to the site. I was guilty of it when I first started. Not to say I didn't do my research, but sometimes the forum search tool doesn't give you what you want. Here is a little tip to get better search results.
Go to google and type in whatever you want to search for then add 'site:hammockforums.net' without the quotes.
Example: 'tarp tie outs site:hammockforums.net'

This will help tremendously when trying to find answers to those questions. Chances are its already been asked and has a 20 page response.
Happy hunting

Good idea, I've had the same difficulties searching for things. I'm sure I've asked some duplicate questions.

This is especially helpful because you can search for 3-character strings such as "CRL", "JRB", etc.

Yeah I think that is the most useful thing about this search feature. Specifically I think a lot of duplicate threads could be saved if people could search the word "dog" using the normal search method.

Thanks so much for this tip. Going thru Google works a lot better than the forum search function. It's like night and day really.

This thread should be made sticky because I will not be able to find it when I need it.
