The built-in search is very effective if you know how to use it. It's a keyword search rather than a fulltext search.
I haven't prettied the page up yet, but it works
Anyway, try http://www.ozgemini.com/forums/tech/googlesearch.phpSearch for Keywords:
You can use AND to define words which must be in the results, OR to define words which may be in the result and NOT to define words which should not be in the result. Use * as a wildcard for partial matches

so are we to assume this option:
http://www.ozgemini.com/forums/tech/googlesearch.php
will soon be implemented as an alternative search option button on all pages? Will it be implemented in both tech and non-tech sections?

I find this comment quite offensive actually even if I dont live in the western suburbs!!Gemi Coupe wrote:I think the big issue is that most people dont know how to use it, and thats where the problem is.
I dont have a problem with it, i know how to use it quite well.
trying to teach that to a poorly educated noob from western sydney is pretty hard though.
I find the search pretty hard to use even though I am educated mate.
Try posting something a little more useful in future instead of degrading people from West Sydney!
