Search function is just about trash

[notanlines]

I recently went to the 'search function' to run down a few threads for an OP concerning everyone's preferred wax for their RV. It seemed like a small effort to help a newbie decide what to buy. I tried "RV wax" and it replied to me that it was too vague, too short, not enough words. So I tried "what do, you use for RV wax" Same answer.
I'm about to try "When your significant other stares at the Suites, looks you in the eye and says 'Get the wax on the RV or no dinner!' what brand wax would be suitable for purchase?"
I gave some thought to asking in my prayers what might be the answer, but He may not even know....:eek:
I will update when I try a few other things, like researching my own posts.

On edit: I just tried it and, you guessed it, THIS VERY POST came up.

Yes, the search on here is just about useless. Someone else in another thread posted a way around this: Go to google and type this in:

site:keystoneforums.com [awning cleaning]

where the part inside the brackets is the term you want to search, in this case awning cleaning. Do not enter the brackets. This has a much higher hit rate and generally returns threads that are useful and related to the topic you need.

For example, for RV wax I searched for this:
site:keystoneforums.com RV wax

And these came up:

All very useful and helpful. Changed my enjoyment of this site 1000%

Use Google
trailer wax site:keystoneforums.com


It doesn't gripe at you, you can search for terms or phrases by using quotation marks around the needle in the haystack you're looking for.

It isn't the first, and it won't be the last time: Google is your friend.:)
