My God! Why does the search suck so bad?

Sign in to disble this ad
Atleast it is working but I type in "lane poor preamp" for just the title in juat the classifieds and i get 250 threads i have to wade through, including every one with just preamp in the title. If I remember right the same search before the move would have given me 4 or 5 threads.

Atleast the search is on for now, but is it going to get better. This search REALLY REALLY sucks.

Joe

I started a thread about this over in Paul's Shack a while ago. All the info is there.

I personally find the Google search terrible because you can't search forum-specific topics, and they don't seem to have any chronological order.

It can work out sometimes, but if you're looking for, say, an SWR that you want to buy, you can't use the TB search, and Google search will bring up every forum SWR is mentioned in, not just the classifieds.
