I just tried entering a search criteria of "best hub," then I tried just "hub." On both occasions, I get "sorry, but no matches were found." What's the deal with that? that should turn up 19000 matches! Here's a link to a thread with the word in the title: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=260558.

Why won't that show up? Am I screwing up or is it a glitch?:crash:

As I understand it, only words four letters long or longer get indexed for performance reasons.

One alternative is to use Google's ability to search specific sites. Enter the following, without quotes, in a Google search: "hub site:bikeforums.net"

An easier way, if you have Google toolbar, is to type the term (hub) into the google box on the toolbar, then hit "current site" on the dropdown menu. (Of course this only works if you're already looking at the site you want to search.)

Also, with the current version of google, You can type the "site:xxx" at any position in the string. Until recently you had to type it at the beginning.
