    There's a lot of limitations with the built in search engine on here. Which can get frustrating at times. Like when you get these errors:

    "The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search"

    "This forum requires that you wait 10 seconds between searches."

    etc...



    So here's a trick how to get passed it.

    All you need is good old Google.

    #1 Type in your keywords into the search bar. After that type in "mmb.maverick.to".


    #2 Only get a few results? well now click the More results from mmb.maverick.to ยป link, and voila!
    You should be rewarded with a plethora of threads from this forum containing your keywords. :Handshake

    Searching for Pictures


    Ever had a time were you saved a pictured but cant remember where you viewed it at? Well fear no more. Google Image has you covered now!


    Here's the link to their "How To" on this subject, it's really fun actually :)

    Ill try to bring the search restriction down later on in the week.

    Instead of typing....

    302 swap "mmb.maverick.to"

    ... the following syntax is what Google understands to search a particular site
    302 swap site:mmb.maverick.to

    Here is an example of the above query in action.

    I set the time limit between searches to 5 seconds.

    Thank you sir! :)

    By posting this I wasn't trying to say anything bad about the forum and I know that the the limitations are on all vBulletin based forums not just this one.

    I just posted it as "tips" for the others to know.
