search limitations

[joeymusicguy]

it is seriously annoying that you cannot search for "xxx xxxx" a common phrase like "pod farm"

and also seriously annoying that you have to wait 20 seconds between searches...

any chance this can be updated like the modern internet world??

What's wrong with Google? Okay, it's not as effective, but still works...

• How do I use the Search function? The search function in Ultimate Metal is not very effective as short terms are not allowed. So before asking something (that has more than likely been asked 15 times before), please go to Google, enter the text you're searching for and copy/paste this:
  site:http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/andy-sneap OR site:http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/sabbat OR site:http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/equipment OR site:http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/production-tips OR site:http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/sneap-produced-albums OR site:http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/rate-my-mix-tone-threads OR site:http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/off-topic-tavern

i agree its a pain, it cant be that hard to get a good search and the google thing sometimes works.

i just have that big long thing you have to paste into google bookmarked. So any time i need to search for something on this site, i just pull up the bookmark and type the word or phrase into google before the long pasted thing.

this way i dont constantly have to go to the FAQ and look for that phrase to copy and paste every time i want to search for something

The search function works for me...

just type in "Pod Farm" with the parenthesis...you will have to do some searching but it finds every thread with a post in it that says pod farm.

Noob question about google and searching in general .... parenthesis do make a difference ?

Yes.

If you search: pod farm, it will find sites that mention both words, but it doesn't have to be cohesive, eg. "A pod of animals is common in a farm"

But if you put it in quotations (): "pod farm", it will only find sites with sentences where it is written exactly like that, eg. "I really like my pod farm a lot"

 

[Metaltastic]

Those are quotations, these () are parantheses
