You will find by typing in small search strings i.e. "si" or "gti" will not go through as you may possibly need to enter a larger parameter to search for i.e. "Si bumper" or "GTi golf" etc. :wink:

No it aint rubbish, u just need to figure out how to make best use of it.

When your searching the default radio button is marked and searches under "Search topic title and message text". Dont tell me you dont see that? :D

U should be able to search just the topic title not the title AND the message text because it could be in a completly different context. :-?

Any moderator or admin dude agree? :wink:

I think u should just copy this format:
http://forum.cliosport.net/search_form. ... Position=1

That search facility was VERY usefull when wanting to know about problems i had with my Clio 1.8 16v, but the 1 on this side just stresses u out trying to find something u want. :rolleyes:

Hope u can adhere to my wishes. :wink:
