Title: Please give me search training!!
Post by: AKcharger on June 14, 2018, 10:58:03 AM
Long time member 1st time caller...In the 15 years I've been here the search has NEVER worked for me. case in point I'm trying to find out about adding a tac to a non tac car. So
1st search is Tac wire harness...nothing
Then advanced search with just "Tachometer

What am I doing wrong

Thanks

The search is worthless. Best bet is to enter a word and go to the last page, even then you get a bunch of non-related posts.

This problem has been around forever.  Here's what I do.  Take the following line and paste it into the address line.

site:www.dodgecharger.com [my search terms]

Replace the words "my search terms" with whatever you are looking for.  Enter.   Try it. 

Later you can save the address line as a favorite.

I just start at the last pages that come up with the search engine here. Works great.

Like "site:dodgecharger.com search words"

Haven't tried the last thing on the list trick.  I'll try that next.

Digging up a older topic again. I'm glad I came to the help desk. Was just wondering the same questions. Thought I was doing something wrong. I tried renaming my recent topic on that gas tank restraint bracket. So I tried searching for it. I went down a few pages and still nothing.

Glad to see the search tips. Google is your friend! lol I wish I had of came her first instead of going page to page in the forums looking for stuff.  That being said I was sided tracked quite a few time with info that is relevant with my car. It's all good. But took a whole lot of time.
