Hey everyone. I hope it's not just me, but I have been having a lot of difficulty using the search function here on the forums. I did find a way to search that works a little better though. Just go to google and type what you want to search for followed by site:
www.pipemakersforum.com. Not sure if everyone already knows this or not, but I thought I'd post just in case it could help someone out.
Edit: removed the ' '

I just tried that out and got nothing:
Your search - vulcanite 'site:
www.pipemakersforums.com' - did not match any documents.

Rad, there may be another way to do it.
Have explorer open at
http://www.pipemakersforum.com/forum in the address bar. In the small Google search window, just below the address bar, type in your search word/s. Click on the little magnifying glass to the right of the search window. Should work.
It should also work if you remove the single quotes.
EDIT: I just noticed that you spelled pipemakersforum(
s) incorrectly.

As frank said, the search term has to spelled without the quotes..
Like:
carnuba wax site:
www.pipesmokersforum.com
The "site:" command has to connect to the URL, without spaces!
Good luck

Yeah sorry Rad I guess I made it confusing. Don't use the ' ', I edited them out of my previous post.
