Is it possible for anyone to tell me why there is a search link on this site yet it isn't worth a pinch of @#%$? <p></p><i></i>

Because it is a "Not-So-EZBoard". The search engine really sucks here, but cannot be fixed by us. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;">There are some who call me........Tim?</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:white;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;">Top Speed = Mach 0.197 or so... </span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;">1994 FZR 1000</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> </p><i></i>

The search engine here is.....inconsistant. <br>Sometimes it allows a search of every page in a forum, sometimes it can't find anything. 'tis strange.<br><br>One thing you should be able to do is search <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>only</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> this site from Google by doing this- say you want to search for "dogbone". You type this into Google: <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>dogbone site:exupbrotherhood.com</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> But, the problem is that it only searches the members list- so you'll get nothing<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :sad --><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ... ng_sad.gif ALT=":sad"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> If you just typed <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>dog site:exupbrotherhood.com</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> you'll see the members who mention in their bio's that they have a dog<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Not particularly useful.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :sad --><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ... ng_sad.gif ALT=":sad"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>I THINK the problem is that exupbrotherhood.com doesn't really exist. It's actually part of ezboard.com, and the way it's set out seems to baffle Google. Any suggestions? What is our actual URL? It seems to be something along the lines of p072.ezboard.com/fexupbrotherhood but if you type that in it doesn't work???? <p></p><i></i>

but if you leave out the /fexupbrotherhood it seems to work better assuming you give a few search criteria consisting of at least several characters<br><br>I submitted the our ezboard presence quite a number of months ago for google's spider engine to crawl and cache <p><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:steelblue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:medium;">-John </span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v485/ ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;"> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ ... cement.jpg" target="top">1995 FZR1000</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;"> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ ... 00x600.jpg" target="top">1990 FZR1000</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;"> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/ ... resize.jpg" target="top">1990 FZR1040</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>
