The way I search any forum (not just this one) is to use google with a site filter. For instance, to find any mention of the word Bacchetta on this forum, I use the following search string in google:
Bacchetta site:bicycles.net.au
That does the trick for me anywhere and is normally better than the search methods supplied by these forum software providers.
Cheers,
Graeme

How about a spell check instead? - I can see it being of use to some.Unko wrote:i was just wondering if there was a way to get a find field so its easyer to find stuff and stop the dubbleing up on posts.

Firefox has a spell checker built in, so I suggest using that!
