► How to use Honda-Tech Search engine
** Sort Results by relevancy for much older threads, Sort results by ''thread start date'' for most recently created topics **
How to search
* Always use advanced search
* Under search options always sort your search results by relevancy or by date
* 3 letter words will work / 2 letters words you must use quotations around them or you will find 0 results..words commonly used together use quotations around them also.
* Always try to narrow results as much as possible. If you know which forum the thread your looking for was posted in.. select that forum only
* When searching try to be specific.. phrases typed differently may pull different results
* If you have an idea of when the thread that you may be searching for was posted, limit the date range using the option available.
There is a huge database here and a lot of information and threads that have already been covered.. To help cut down on repeated topics always check the [faq] threads stickied at the top of the forums and then try searching before creating a new topic. If you have a particular issue with the search engine or results.. Feel free to contact me and I can forward it to Internet brands.

Nice post Jimmy, been needing this for a while.
Re-wording phrases in the keyword field can have a great impact on search results.
Also, IMO, searching thread titles is the best way to find what you are looking for, as opposed to sifting through a near bottomless pit of posts.
This thread is a sticky at the top of the forum.

Since I don't see anyone else mentioning it, using the Google "site" feature has treated me better than the search here.
