ProTip - Search forum for 3 letter words

[YoYo-Pete]

Here's something that I dont know if I've seehere n and not sure where it ideally should go, so figured i'd put it here.

I was trying to search on "RDS" or "Red Dot Sight" in the forums and it removes words 3 letters or less. Makes researching Red Dots kind of hard.

Solution is to search with google.

In google search bar, use this notation:

{keyword} site:{web address}
RDS site:http://miairsoft.proboards.com
Red Dot site:http://miairsoft.proboards.com

Edit: Made the examples clickable links.

This is an excellent way to do it. And in fact, the proboards search function sucks so hard, this is how I search whatever I want to find on MiA. Using a Google search as described above turns up better results pretty much every time.

Another "Pro-Tip"... when you fail to enter your password correctly and ProBoards wants you to watch some advertisement in order to solve a captcha; just go back a page and try again. No captcha necessary.
