It's already there Jennie.

Go into advanced search and there's a username section. I tried it with no keywords and just using the username jennie (unchecked exact name box) and it came up with all the threads you've started.

83 of them by the way. Another little problem is search words like "now" "then" are apparently too common and short for the search engine by themselves.

Just a quick thanks to Blocker and anyone else involved with setting up and looking after this site. I've only been a member for a short time, but have learned heaps. This site, and its members, are worth its/their weight in gold (or at least old car parts ). Nige

Did you say Gold?

Hi Blocker,

One thing I would like to raise is for Sandman browsers who havnt yet registered. The pictures we host on this site, and put links to in our posts, are not visable by average punters. The Album is marked as public but can only be viewed by registered users.

Try it... some of my posts have pictures I have uploaded here to an album called Misc, this album is definitly Public (Album will be viewable by all visitors).

Thanks for all your work,

Mauser

Thanks Mauser I'll look into it.

Okay so it appears I am the ultimate forum Junkie, thank you for explaining the search playwme, Rodney said he thought i should stop typing into this because I am filling the computer with two many words....

Common words are not allowed in the search criteria - the reason is it would break the database if someone did a search for words like "there, and, here" also there is a minimum of 4 letters, because searching for "if, a, or." is pointless.

When using a search use adjectives or nouns like - "cowl, trim code, armrest, ozbox"
The more words you type in the field will narrow down your search results.

Ideally it is up to the original poster to spell correctly and be clear in what they are describing so others in the future can find relevant posts.

Also when you post a new thread at the bottom of the screen you will see a box called 'Tags'. Please fill it in with single words describing your post. If your post is about steering columns, type Steering columns. Or if it's about HX Decals then type that in, if you want.

Here is a tip for people wanting to search for smaller text strings.

eg. I tried to search "63v" for posts about trim.

My sandman returns "The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search: "

So if you open a new tab and go to google.com.au and enter...

63v site:mysandman.com.au

you will get 55 results.
