Default How to Search Rennlist 928 section using Google

I've been doing this for a while now, and figured I'd share as it's actually very helpful. Seems IB lets Google index the whole set of forums.

If you add these terms to a search on Google, it limits the results to ones from this forum:

site:rennlist.com inurl:928

Put just those into Google, then make a bookmark/favorite after searching - next time you want to search, open the bookmark/favorite, add keywords, and search. e.g. Put this into Google:

Euro rough idle K-jet site:rennlist.com inurl:928

I've found that Google has some built-in substitutions and partial/related keyword matching which makes it more effective than the rennlist search function (You can make the rennlist search more effective using Advanced Search terms with boolean logic and whole phrases, but its a pain).

You can also search for specific words in the thread title (which also appears in the page title)

intitle:<word>
e.g. intitle:87s4

Anyway, enjoy

Given that the Rennlist search isn't working.. thought it was time to bump this (yes, I used Google to search for this thread )

Thx for the tip. Any suggestion on how to limit the search to just the title using this method?

Seems like the search function is still down. It has been days now. Any word when it will be fixed?

Hilton,

Just tried this for the first time and immediately found what I was looking for (that didn't show up in a normal RL search), great tip! Thanks.

IB says it's been fixed for awhile now.
