I appreciate that position Tom. When I search here I'm looking for the community's expertise. If I want to google something that's what I do.
Using Google like I showed above will ONLY search the forum or web site you specify. You don't get a bunch of other results mixed in, If you specify rvforum.net as the site to search, thats all it searches in.
You can use it to search other forums or web sites just as easily ...............
However, if the person writing the title or thread or post cannot spell correctly (such as brand names, or trade names) no search will do you much good. As in the case of
georgie boy site:rvforum.net Which I just happen to pick because I saw the name in a thread title. Problem is, the OP actually spelled the title
Georgia like the state, making it impossible for future searches to easily find it.

I actually was able to buy a rather high quality hydraulic press off of Ebay due to this very thing. The person who posted it, spelled the manufacturer name Drake when in fact it was Dake, and if you search one, you don't find the other. I also found that many people spelled Hydraulic incorrectly as Hydrolic. I my case the seller listed it as a 10 ton press which I knew was incorrect, it was in fact, a 25 ton press. Yes, it took a drive in my Ford Ranger from south Atlanta to Woodbridge New Jersey to get it, but I only paid $150 when it should have sold for a thousand or more at the time. A new one was about $2500 I think.
When you are creating titles or typing posts, it behooves everyone to fully spell out words and insure that names, especially brand or trade names, model numbers, etc., are correctly spelled, spaced, hyphenated, etc., as it aids in future searches.
