easy alternative RFF search

[digitalintrigue]

I put together this simple javascript that utilizes google for searching RFF. It brings up a dialog box to enter the search criteria.

Link is here.

Safari: click on the 'search RFF' link and drag to your toolbar.

Firefox: right click on the 'search RFF' link and save to Bookmarks toolbar.

Cool, neat!

Holy smokes, my friends! Abundant thanks to digitalintrigue. We're not worthy!

[WDPictures]

Mr. Intrigue, this is indeed an improved way of searching RFF. Well done!

[P. Lynn Miller]

I have to say that the search engine used by RFF is atrocious, the only downside of the site. Thanks for sharing this great tool with everyone.

I thought it was useful to put here a link to a page I created using Google Custom Search a tool that let you personalize the Google search page. Basically it's a search page with the classic search field that only search within the www.rangefinderforum.com domain.

I bookmarked it and I use it for searching for topics of my interest.

Ciao,

In google I just use: site:domain.com search terms

works for any domain.

Yahoo has an advanced search too where you can filter for a specific domain.

I'll offer mine, too, once I get it fixed. Apologies!

[gliderbee]

It doesn't work for me: I get an error message from google, saying that the link doesn't seem to work; could it be that it is language dependent ?
The link Stravinsky provided works fine.

Stefan.

A thousand thanks from the old computer illiterate geeks.

Yeah...I just use Google with this syntax:

"50 1.9" site:rangefinderforum.com

Just change what is inside the quotations to whatever you would like to search.

I use this method (particularly) with 3 characters or less.

I can now offer three working bookmarklets. One to search the forums, one for the classifieds, and one for the gallery.

Just visit the link and you'll find instructions. Enjoy.
