I've noticed an ever increasing complaint about
"I searched, but can't find stuff" or
"The Search function isn't working"
and because of this, we (ALL of US) find ourselves constantly answering the same questions. It's come to the point where I've been saving stock answers as word docs to save myself typing! The sad thing is, I (and I suspect a LOT of others do too) know what the problem is, but I don't know how to address it.

As a joke, I made an inquiry using nothing more than "Yo", I got thirteen hits. I used "Help" and got over a dozen. I don't dare use "ewwwwww" or any of the more colorful examples out there.
The problem with search engines, is that to the Noob, they plink in their search word and the search calls up every reference to that word, many times buried in the text body... and you end up looking thru dozens of hits.

Maybe a standardized format for the topic line IE:
"Tail lamps, not working " or
"H22, wiring problem" or the all-time favorite:
"Won't Start, '90 accord cranks, won't start on hot days"

It might be worth some thought.....

lol@dont dare use ewww.

i agree with this though. i didnt know my threads could be useful in search for the future heads encountering the same problem. **** slipped my mind.

 

lol lol ....my fingers are sore for typing the answer to mai relay location and repair ,,You got a good point ..you can include the most common asked questions and solutions

 

It's not that I'm asking that we all use the Kings English throughout the entire post, but a standardized Title format would cut down failed searches greatly.
I'm surprised the forum owner or moderator hasn't picked up on this.
Who knows, it might cut down on those "Search Server unavailable, Try Later" messages; by reducing how many people waist time rummaging thru searches that have no commonality.

to the top for a really good idea........
