The ehMac search feature is absolutely useless. Anyone who's tried it should know what I'm talking about.

It's most frustrating when you're trying to search through the troubleshooting section trying to solve a problem. The foul language that passes my lips would wilt a rose.

NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS!

You can easily search ehMac using Google. The first few I tried worked magnificently. Just bookmark this link ehMac Google Search

The Google entry bar will say this: ###### site:ehmac.ca
Just replace ###### with the phrase or words you want to search for on ehMac. Hit the return key and you get the result you're looking for right away. You can also use all the normal Google special characters.
My language has improved already, so I think I'm ready to take the "English Test" again. Now if I can only find that thread

Nice job Rob!

I take it, the 3 letter acronyms are often coming into problems when searching the troubleshooting portion?

Yes, the other big problem is you can't search for a phrase. Let's say you remember a phrase "bad covers on the pot". There are too many small words and the normal ehMac search doesn't find anything related. The Google search finds the thread right away.

Great tip, Rob! EhMac's mayor should take note of this.
A related tip: drag Rob's link to your Bookmarks bar so that it's instantly accessible.

Wow, Thanks for the tip. The Mayor should give you the key to ehMacland for a day.

Thanks Folks,

Here's another link to the Google "Cheat Sheet"

It shows you some great little features to get better Google search results. I use the +, -, and " " qualifiers a lot.
