Forum Search tool

[Gregory OConnor]

A good way to search all of Yahoo forums is to use a google search and
put an address to the searchphrase ( google seems to give better
results)

enter

Wanderlodge 8v92 oil site:yahoo.com


no space between "site:(address)" this will yield results from all of
the yahoo forums

Gregory, try your own advice and I think you will find that this forum does not
appear in the results.

Only forums with public messages now show up. The google search was
once a backdoor way into forums that required membership to view the
messages without signing up. I think this recent yahoo correction
that protect the messages from view of non members will slow down
forum activity on this particular site and increase activity on the
other site????

I believe 'membership count' on this site was larger primarily
because membership was a requirement to view messages. Only a guess
but I suspect hits and readership is way larger on the other
Wanderlodge owners yahoo forum.

now that this forum will not show up often with any simple boolean
search, membership and hit counts may grow stale. Newbee's looking
for info will not be exposed to the content of this forum.

I'll find the phrase that opens content for search
