Doug Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Can anyone tell me if it's possible to use Boolean search terms in the site's search engine? Say I want to search for all topics with 'italian' and 'website' in them; I've tried italian AND website and +italian +website but neither of these forms work. I've looked at the help page, but it makes no mention of anything like this, is it even possible? I know you can search using Google's site:www.arniesairsoft.co.uk but that means you don't get any of the options of the site's search engine e.g. searching specific forums.

Hissing_Sid Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Are you still looking for that "build-a-gun" thing? The one I recall was a black page with a big gun in the middle and a window on the left where you could pick stuff like scopes, stocks and foregrips. The ones linked to so far aren't the one I recall seeing. I had the bookmark saved on my old HDD too. Doh! Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Posted December 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Thanks Hissing Sid, I've found it now (here) But I think this highlights an 'issue' I have with this site, which is that if combining search terms does nothing when you search, coupled with the fact that the search engine refuses to search using 3 letters, I think people should be a bit more hesitant when flaming newbies who ask questions already addressed. Maybe instead of the search function we should just have a howto on using google's advanced features? On the other hand, have you seen the garbage that comes up when using the site:wwwarniesairsoft.co.uk function? Pages that aren't even from this site. Plus, how long does it take for newly made threads to be found and indexed by google? I couldn't find the thread I wanted using google I think because it was too new. What does everyone else think?

Hissing_Sid Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Hmmm. To be honest, that wasn't the site I was thinking of. regarding the search function, it's a bit of a disaster if you ask me. Most guns have names less that 4 characters and most people refer to guns in the shortest possible way, for example as "MP5"s, not as "H&K MP5"s. Link to post Share on other sites
