    When I type something I want to search about Hudsons I keep getting the latest posts on the forum. Anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Scott indicated earlier that 'seaches' here did not work too well, and suggested that we use Google.

    I usually type-in 'classiccar.com' (in quotes) in the search window, followed by the search parameters of what I am looking for - and get fairly decent results that way...

    I tried your suggestion Rick and have the same problem. Also, your reply to me showed up.

    Specifically - What are you trying to search for?

    Sorry, I forgot to type google. My search was for past post about engine ID. Some engine posts came up but no ID information. Also, I haven't been able to locate my own previous posts on the subject.

    Don't think you understand... You need to go to www.google.com, and within that search window, follow my directions for your search.

    However - If you are looking for YOUR discussions and YOUR posts -
    - Click the 'Discussions' button at the top of this forum;
    - When you see the listing of all the threads, look just below all the buttons (Dashboard, Discussions, Activity, Inbox, Lee ODell, Mark All Viewed, etc..);

    - You will see 'My Bookmarks ##', 'My Discussions ###' and 'Participated Discussions####';

    Those will be your bookmarks, your discussions, and any discussions that you participated in. You can go thru those, and most likely find what you're looking for...

    Worst issue with this site is the search function, virtually non-existent.

    As mentioned before, for now, use Google, and this search string:

    site:classiccar.com 'search term/s'

    For example:

    site:classiccar.com hudsonite

    This will be resolved as the other glitches have been fixed eventually and I learn the new layout.
    Reminds me of a frustrating 45 minutes experience I had at the public library trying to locate a certain book using their computer cataloging system. I gave up and went to the card catalog and had the book in hand in less than 5 min.
    It is great haveing people help with the learning curve.

    Stuff happens.

    Have a good day.

    I still use the card catalog in the Library - if I can find it... LOL!
