Default Forum Search Engine <SUCKS?>

I'm trying to search the archives for "Penske shocks" for C4 applications and I keep getting a "no topics found" response. I find it hard to believe that in the history of his forums C4 tech/Performance area that nobody has ever discussed Penske shock.

Not sure if our search engine is lame or if it's just me.

just try typing in penske and I got two things up, then try just shocks or maybe shock and you will have to read into those.

No it doesn't <vaccuum>. It works well for me. Volumes of good info learned by using that method. i usually start with real generalized or extremely specific title searches, exhaust them, and then do body .....I refuse to finish that sentence :lol: keep trying, you'l get it.

The search does suck, I think it's worthless. I can type in the exact title of the topic and it will not find it.

No it doesn't suck, topics can get archived pretty quickly or maybe no topics existed.

Learn to use the function and it can be your best friend(besides me and Scorp)

Well, I tell ya, I've been reading C4 since about two months after the forum came into being (as various people, "Matt Black" not being my first) and I can't recall anyone ever discussing Penske.

It's always been Bilsteins vs. KYB vs. Edelbrock vs. some of the exotics like VHP...

I will start talking about them if I can ever get them in the car.... The bushings from my Koni's and FX3 shocks won't fit. So I am hunting... :smash: Need a bigger hammer.
