No forum search function.

hi all!

i can\'t get the forum search function to work. when i click on \"search\" the page
just refreshes. this sucks because i wanted to look for info about posting urls
in the canadian tv news thread before starting a thread about it.
anyway, i\'m running firefox 2.0.0.4 on win xp pro, sp2 (updated), noscript with
java allowed for eztvefnet. any help would be appreciated.

thank you all in advance!

for the time being you could use google. for example, your search string would be:

canadian tv shows site:www.eztvefnet.org/ inurl:forum=view_thread

edit: inurl:form=view_thread would be more appropriate on second
thoughts, as to search within all the threads listed.

google only has 334 of the forum pages logged (search site:www.eztvefnet.org/
inurl:forum=view_thread to see them all) so it's not the most thorough
search option, however i think it will suffice until a search feature is
implemented.

the above search string, with the addition of the parameters you're searching,
will search within the threads listed, whereas searching inside the url
for forum=index will search the topic titles, eg.

24 season 6 site:www.eztvefnet.org/ inurl:forum=index

wow guys, thanks for the quick replies! and bauer, it's nice to hear of others
knowing about google hacking. there's enough material out there! though i didn't
know about "inurl:forum=view". thanks for the tip and yes that will do fine for
now! no worries aydin, i just wanted to be considerate toward the forum. thank
you for your reply and this site rocks anyway! i hear you jayeff. i'm tech
support with lenovo so it's just habit.

as to what started this, whether i can post urls in the canadian tv news thread,
where should i pose the question please?

once again guys thanks for the replies. they were quick, on topic, to the point
and smart! like i said, this place rocks!
