Why should I have to use google if the site has a search engine already? I see what your saying as this will help find related items, but doesn't that throw a flag when using google halps you find something easier than the sites search option? seems to me the site should have an easier way to locate threads or subjects. none of my other forums I belong to have this kind of problem

but thanks for the information, next time I will use that as my search option. thank you
