Search Tip (suggestion)
 
This is just a search tip for newcomers that I found more productive to find
solutions to problems when getting a server to run/work. You might have a
better way, but it's a thought for those having trouble searching.
Myself, I have found many many answers to things doing it this way.
https://www.google.ca/advanced_search (just an example below).

I agree :)

Though we have a built-in search feature - and it works - there are some things that just can't be found very easily with ours (especially words less than 4 letters.)

You're right Uleat. I had a little bit of a difficult time trying to get some searches done
through the forum search, but I started doing that way with google and stuck with it,

You could just do "eqemu <search term>" on Google. That's what I do. Or you could do "site:eqemulator.org <search term>". I've found both of those to be much better than the forum search, though I use it too. Also, neither of those require you to go into settings to change anything for Google :)

Ya, I love all the extra variables one can add on that site. Many times I've
excluded words, just to get rid of all the crap from other sites that show up
in results.
