AlienFrogModeller Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Hi everyone, I'm hoping this is just a PEBCAK issue... I have tried these search variants for example... "SU-34", Su-34", "Fullback" and would not return anything found while in various forums ( Jet Modelling and In Progress and Display Case) But yet after scrolling through a few pages, they do definitely exist. I even copied and pasted the title of the Topic. So, is the issue PEBCAK? Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard (PEBCAK - that would be me) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 It has something to do with the way the search engine reads what is entered. I think it was this forum, maybe another, where somewhere in the search function details it said that numbers such as 747, 117, 21, 51, basically all the designations we know and love, were too common to use for valid search terms and thus ignored.

Trojan Thunder Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Nice tips Steven, I was aware of the google search for specific sites but always forget the syntax for such searches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Steven, Thanks for the search function tip. I've had this issue with almost all of my searches on several modeling sites over the previous years. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlienFrogModeller Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Wow thanks. Just doing research on the Su34 and just cleared some shelf space. I love the look of the aircraft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dnl42 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 The site-specific Google search syntax is simple. For example, site:www.arcforums.com fullback Quote Link to post Share on other sites
