So since you all are spazzing out about the 500 errors that have been happening, here's something you can do to save the server a little bit of load.

Go to www.google.com

Enter your search term, say... MaxShot

After that, enter this nifty little bit: site:nerfhaven.com

So it would look like this in google: maxshot site:nerfhaven.com

That will search NH for the word maxshot using Google instead of the Invision Power Board search engine.

Make sure there are no spaces in the site:nerfhaven.com section or it won't work right.

As an added bonus, the Google search isn't case sensitive like the NH one is.

Enjoy!

You know, that's a great idea. Good job forestalling the need for upgrades!

Technically it isn't word sensitive either... You can type in "one" and it'll give you pages with "1" instead. You don't have to be so particular, which is a bonus.

I can't figure out how to do this. Can someone post a URL to the search page?

Oh irony, you are so sweet.

And on a different note: Cheeses crusty, got all musty, got damp on the stone of a peach. Say it out loud.

It has to be "site:nerfhaven.com" - leave out the "www"

Original post edited to reflect, sorry about that.

No kidding. Someone wasn't using Google.

Echnalaid, just use advanced search, and enter www.nerfhaven.com in the site box.

Okay, Ill make this a little easier for those people who cannot find this thread. Or figure out how to do this.

Google Nerfhaven Search

Just type something before the word 'site'.

Maybe we should temporarily link this (thread or link) to the search button.
