Why does the search engine suck?

[GrowRebel]

I don't understand why the search engine has to seperate all the key words .... why can't it look up things in quotes?

I asked it to look for any post on the strain Big Laugh and it seperates the words where it searches for big, and laugh .... that brings up things I don't what ... and takes up a lot of time doing.

Why can't the search engine look for phrases in quotes? That would make it easier to find something and not have to post the same question again on the board.

He's right, it's vB .. not google.

google = search engine
search feature on vB forum = search feature on vB forum.

I know it's not just this site ..... but it is still very annoying ... It would save so much time and repeat questions if we could use phrases in quotes. I wish all the v boards could make that happen.

Thanks :thumbsup: :dance: :stoned:

Well, you can always use google to search this site for you. Simply type in whatever you want to search in google as always then type site:http://boards.cannabis.com

Say you wanted to look up low stress training. At google you'd search for "Low stress training site:http://boards.cannabis.com" try it out.\


See, click this link to see what you'd get if you searched for that:Google search for low stress training on boards.cannabis.com
