search bar Options

[NYp8tBaller07]

Is it just me or does everyone else seem to have difficulty with the search bar. It finds most recent posts and has a very hard time narrowing what I want to search. I also can not input GT or ST and it gives me an error saying I used an inappropriate word.

Aside from this I have used the search bar in success but it does take some time =p. I don't know if this can be fixed but I thought I would bring it up.

Easier way to "search" on 6gc.net is:

Go to google, type what you were going to type in the search bar followed by something like "6gc.net" or "6gc".

So an example, say you are searching for a Celi on Work xd9's. Instead of typing that in 6gc.net search bar, go to google and type: "Work xd9 6gc.net" and you will get a way better narrowed down search and can use as many and whatever keywords as you want. At least that's what I do.

I also find it pretty difficult to search.
It usually comes up with pages and pages of stuff no matter what you look for.
Definately takes a long time, but I'm not sure if there is a way around that.

google seems to be the best bet, it's just a pity that we have to use a search outside of the site for this. guess the board design needs some tweaks still =p

Do you know how to use it properly? The advanced usage instructions are there in the search page.

Type ............................................ Means
apple banana ....................... Find posts that contain at least one of these words
+apple +juice ....................... Find posts with both words
+apple -juice ........................ Find posts with 'apple' but not 'juice'
apple* ................................... Find posts with 'apple' and/or 'applesauce'
"Some Words" ....................... Find posts with the phrase 'some words of wisdom', 'some words' but not 'some noise words'

Hmmm, maybe I was just retarded and didn't know how to use the search? Lmao.

I'll give it a shot next time I need it.

I do use it properly but it's just not a refined search bar, and I can't type specific things
