Technical Site Question

Post by KeziasPurr » Mon Jan 15, 2007 9:57 am

I've been trying to search the forums and no matter what I enter as search criteria I get no results. Is there a problem with the search function? I use the latest version of Firefox.

Personally, I hate the built in search. It's not very good at picking up words that are slight variations of the same root.

I like to use google to search this site. For instance, if you were searching for "Aura modifications", you'd put "site:cpaptalk.com aura modifications" into the google box, and voila. Much easier if you ask me.
