The forum search is not too great. It is sad because it causes a lot of redundant posts. Use google instead and enter this in the searchform:
Code:
site:www.internettablettalk.com spamaverter

I often find that I get too many results, and I don't have the time or the patience to look through them all to find the one or two (it's usually no more than that) that answer(s) my query. Maybe I'm just not good enough at formulating specific searches. I agree that Google tends to be better.

Yeah vBulletin's search has never been very good, unfortunately. The advanced search is better, but you pretty much have to have a good idea of what you're trying to find, the search is much more "literal" than say, Google.

The "power search using Google" link on the site's main page is an easy way to do this.
This would be a huge help for pages at x.maemo.org where x not equal talk.

google is almighty. it knows everything. ask google.
When I was directed to "SEARCH" for spamaverter's post nothing came...Search by User Name
Found it under "video call" when I used Search by Key Word...yet no listing under "spamaverter" kind of strange and maybe why folks get blasted for not searching....the IT search program does not work like google/yahoo/ask/etc...have to try different ways to get the information you are looking for...when one is "up to their eyeballs with "gators" it is hard to remember the objective was to empty the swamp...kind of thing...
cheers
