[How To] Get better results searching this forum

[phrito]

Background:

I just would like to contribute a tip I find myself using day in and day out, I am sure this can help other people.
The native search functionality on these forums is very limited and more of a hit and miss search than anything else.
Since the forums are mostly public, you can just use google search on here.​

How-to:

1 - go to google.com
2 - search (without quotes and brackets) for: "site:http://www.thebuddyforum.com {what you want to search}"
...
3 - Profit??? ​

Example:

google.com : site:http://www.thebuddyforum.com plugins leveling must have
https://www.google.com/search?q=site:http://www.thebuddyforum.com+plugins+leveling+must+have​

Good tutorial, old like ^ said though.

But it's way better than the shitty search function on the site.

Wow...

But still a "good" tut. Good first post.
