Searching the Emotiva Lounge using Google search engine

[boomzilla]

Since the ProBoards search engine is "quirky" (to put it politely), I've seen some say that they use the Google search engine instead. I'd like to try this, but don't recall the specific format to use. Would someone please refresh my memory?

Thanks - Boomzilla

site:http://emotivalounge.proboards.com/ search term
leave a space like I did and then type in the search term

^^^ what he said...

google lets your narrow your searches down to a single site with the command

site:<website> <search terms>

This is really useful when trying to find stuff on specific sites, especially when they have horrible internal search, like proboards.

Thanks, Gents - EXACTLY what I wanted to know!

There is an APP called OnePassword word out there that I purchased a year ago. It generates strong passwords for all of your favorites sites as well as store them in a Master Lock safe. Pretty simple to install and convenient. I believe you also have to have Dropebox to use this application which is simple enough.
I know there are a lot of people that do not like to store passwords on their computers but the software has a Master Password that is created by you before anyone can access your private information.
This application eliminates the need to type or remember your ID and password.

Just thought this could help. I have a lot of websites and at some time realized I was using the same password more than what I should have been because I was it was easier to remember that way.
Food for thought.

This is what I get when I Google the lounge...

You need to say site: in the search, like here:

lmgtfy.com/?q=tubes+site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Femotivalounge.proboards.com

I've moved this to Newbie Stuff and stickied it as it'll be useful for others.
