CF Site Search Engine...what am I doing wrong?
I seems to be having trouble when I do a search on the Corvette Forum site. If I use the site I get numerous non-related results listed whether using Thread or Post feature. In Google I get multiple good Corvette Forum results for what I am searching for....is there a setting that I am missing?

I always go to "advanced search" then put in what I'm searching for and make sure to click on the correct forum that you want to search in, for example, I usually click C3 general or tech when I'm searching.

Edit Update: That works much better. Select search "Advanced", select "Search Title Only", search "Threads" and select the likely C3 forum folder.

I use c3 section and don't pick general or performance. The 2 sectional are pretty much interchangable unless discussing cam timing events.

This question has been addressed before. Did you even try searching first?
In all seriousness, the "Advanced" search is where it's at. Since I can type faster than I can click, when I don't feel like clicking through to get there, I will search on Google and add "site:corvetteforum.com" to limit results to this forum. When an answer is buried in someone's 80-page build thread, Google seems to do better.
