As this board has got a wealth of info on it now and the same questions do keep cropping up often with the same answer why not put a Sticky to advise the initial use of SEARCH set for a good time span eg 600 days. After all the "better" SEARCH facility was one of the reasons put forward for reasons to change forums and all the hassle that created

I agree. The search facility works well if you put in..... say 900 days and 40 results, but most people who post don't realise this so they ask the question as a new, never asked question. I can understand this, as I like to get an up to date answer, Now! but understand how the Guru's must think "I've already answered this question three times already!!" So it may be worth adding some advise and try SEARCH first, then if no result is satisfactory, then post the question. There are certain people on this site who have a vast knowledge of these cars and are very patient and precise with their expert advice.Whether you advise regularly or not though, it all helps at the end of the day. Long may it continue

Perhaps the Administrator could modify the search days by default to, say, 600 days?
cheers

Perhaps threads relating to the same subject could be stitched together?

Sorry chaps I cannot adjust the search criteria.
I can however include a Google search bar on the home page. Details are:
If enabled, a Google search box will appear at the bottom of your board which can allow you to search your forum or search all of Google.
I think the problem of the same question being asked happens on all forums - I know of three who have excellent search facilities but continue to receive the same questions. Human nature?

Well it is easier to ask again, only hope the same answers are given!
