Keeps showing no results. I checked the faq for help on this but i couldnt find anything. I used to use this forum a couple years ago... at that time -to my memory- the search feaure had quit working during the while that i was using this site, and the administartor of this forum posted something about the search feaure/function not working (and that they were working to get it on line).... Is it my browser or what? Any help would be greatly appreciated so I can hopefully do some searches on this Honda-riffic forum.  So since i cant do searches i'm gonna ask what may be a duplicate question under the tech help category if i cant find it quickly by browsing the thousands of thread titles. 1982 GL500I Silverwing Interstate 45K+ miles 1985 CR 250 2 stroke    Report

At the top of the "General Discussion" area is a sticky posting that is called "Quick Reference Info..." . That has quick links to many of the most requested info on this forum. Including how to search with the search function down. You should check that post first with any questions you have. By the way, next May we will be having a CX/GL ride in the Mpls area. Watch the "Traveling Friends" section. Hope you can make it. Wayne 1983 GL650 Silverwing Interstate WWW.fossilapostles.com    Report

Here's one way to do the searchy thingy for this forum... wildmanwill wrote the following post at 02-09-2009 3:58 AM: In my Google search bar, I type the stuff I'm looking for with "site:choppercharles.com/cs" after it. rejetting issue, so: rejetting site:choppercharles.com/cs Or, I need new tires: best tires site:choppercharles.com/cs The great thing about using your browser's search box / bar is that it keeps the search text there, so you just need to double click "petcock" and change it to "best tires," then hit Enter. It should still keep the site: text. Pretty simple! (You should use the /cs as that's where the Forums live.)          ENDQUOTE   I tried it, works like a charm... I had to do the search, and then click on the link right below the first three results that said,  """In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 3 already displayed. If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.**** ,   I'm sure most people would have figured this last part out on their own but I'm posting it anyway.   Thanks Again 1982 GL500I Silverwing Interstate 45K+ miles 1985 CR 250 2 stroke    Report

Randall, I was wondering if the new upgrade would have search capability into the old archives and didn't want to promise what I didn't know. I hope you're right!

The old system of the search function was dumb. If there was 2 gigs of content then the search function duplicated it and made it act as if the site had 4 gigs of info. 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier.
