So I won't ask so many dumb questions that have been answered 100 times in the past, it would be very cool if the forum search would work similar to Google.

That way I could narrow my search by adding several pertinant words with the "+" sign in front. Hopefully that's a clear explanation.

I'm finding that searching on a single word is fruitless. :-(

What was the code for that again? Something like the domain, then a colon, then search terms?

Just go to google's advanced search page and you have a chance to specify the domain to search, in this case, dpchallenge.com. Then enter your keywords and search. Works better than the site search.

Thanks Kirbic / Stranghost.

I'll check out Google's advanced search, since senility prevents anything from staying in my head.

I have a Google search put on my website, perhaps it could be put on this site too?
