How To Search Forum
 
Just a helpful tip for people searching these forums, made a little easier.
Google Advanced Search can come in real handy. Found here:
https://www.google.ca/advanced_search (Example shown below)

Here we search for something simple, (like quest debug), so doing this :

Produces this:

Of course, you can type what's for dinner? and get about 4,400,000 results. :P
But that's the reason you include "eqemu" in that other box "any of these words"

Can you put together a wizard to make searching easier?

What if I just DM Akkadius instead? Thats cool too right?

One-click installer takes more than one click, am I using it wrong? Please help.

You should never use a word that begins with 'cl' and ends with 'ick' ...

Looks like you could coin a new phrase here - 'clickhead'

use at end of any search terms --

site:http://www.eqemulator.org

and you only get results from the forum or whatever url you append to "site:".

i think !site: works? there's a way to exclude a site too, google it :p

not sure if you can have a list of sites. very likely too

If you look at that google advanced page I referenced, there is field
boxes for everything. My screen shot is only part of that page.
