    Suggestion!

    I have trouble finding stuff sometimes with the search function in the forum lets say pokemon walkthrough now the main thing would be of course pokemon walkthrough so change it so it sticks togetherokemonwalkthrough because if you write pokemon walkthrough it comes up with walkthroughs nothing to do with pokemon



    P.S:This probably will be my first locked topic

    Try putting speech marks around the search term.

    Okay, heres how to do a search (in google anyways, i think it works here)
    first of all, quotes around something wil come up with all those words in a an exact order.
    e.g

    Arcadetrainer forum come up with a lot of stuff in google.
    Mostly specific topics.
    600,000 hits.
    with qoutes it wont just search for anything that has to do with forums, but "arcade trainer forum" exactly the way you typed it.
    with qoutes: (sometimes it doesn;t work that well ) 900,000 hits
    yeah, thas a good example..... :rolls:
    but, if you put (outside of the qoutes) a minus sign, anything you right behind that, google will ignore pages with those keywords.
    if you search "arcade trainer forum"-view topic it will ignore any pages that have the word "view topic" in them.
    250 hits.
    of course this isn't allways better, the first search came up with the index page, well the last one came up a link that will download something onto you computer

    As a better suggestion, put "site:forum.arcadetrainer.com" with your query
    In the process of [insert status here]
