Searching the forums more efficiently

[Moonlitherial]

Both until the search function is back up and even afterwards since it is sometimes more efficient. I've bolded the information that actually ends up in the search bar.

 

Go to www.google.com

 

In the search bar enter: site:boards.cruisecritic.com drink package

If you want to limit it to just this forum it would be site:boards.cruisecritic.com drink package + "Royal Caribbean International"

You can search by user name

site:boards.cruisecritic.com inanchor:"Moonlitherial"

by recent threads (the last letter is d for day, w for week, m for month or y for year)

site:boards.cruisecritic.com&tbs=qdr:w

And you can combine any or all of the conditions up to the 32 word query limit that google has.

site:boards.cruisecritic.com&tbs=qdr:w drink package + "Royal Caribbean International"

There are about a million other commands you can use but they get increasingly complicated. If you're interested in more there is a youtube video and a google guide to assist.

This also takes the stress of searching off the sites servers, so it helps keep the forums stable :D

Thanks - I'll try this later - I have been so frustrated when the search button has been gone! :confused:
