Whats with the search engine? How do I search for topics relating to Port Road?
"The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: port road.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards."
cheeers,
Cam.

The forum based search is limited as searching through this much text really puts a strain on the server.
Look up a little in the blue header. There's a "Google customer search" there that will do a much better job. Type "port road" WITH the quotes and you will get a good result.

That'd be Custom Search, Mr. Hell

It's amazing the difference between what my mind says and what my fingers type sometimes...

Alternatively you can just go straight to google itself and type the following:
"Por Road" site:sensational-adelaide.com
and it'll give you results from this site only.

Then could we drop the built-in search box that sits just above the forum list, and move the google-powered box down to that more visible location?

Err... last time I checked this search function worked. Unless this is a shot at Google?

No, I think Howie gets a little cash flow from Google for S-A, which is a good thing.
