Google Search Not Working?

[douglee25]

In the past if I couldn't find a specific thread via searching in clubsearay, I would go to google and type in the bar something like -

starbrite site:www.clubsearay.com

and it would turn up all the hits on clubsearay that contain the word 'starbrite'.

This does not appear to be working any longer for this site for some reason.

Does anyone have an idea why?

Try it this way: <site: www.clubsearay.com starbrite>

According to Google, that's not how the search function is supposed to work. I've been doing it for years the way I posted. Either something changed with the site, something changed with Google, or I'm doing something else incorrectly. The way you've posted does not yield only results from clubsearay.com

Scroll down to 'site' to read how's it used.

go to advance search on google. you can search a word or combinations of words and specify the site.

Using the link you posted still does not work as it produces the same code that I used in my original post.

I'm stumped.

Try it like this --->>> starbrite +site:clubsearay.com

The plus sign makes the part after it required in the results.

If you look at the address bar while you are in the CSR Forums, you will see that there is no "www." at the beginning...

It worked fine for me: [ monacomike site:clubsearay.com ] what is in the brackets yealded 4900 results ONLY on CSR. Might be the www.

There's the problem right there! I tried it without the 'www' but I used http://clubsearay.com/forum.php and that didn't work.

Once I deleted everything after the '.com' it worked perfectly.

Thanks!

thanks to me too! my link didn't work but I was trying to post my search results and it must expire. if you go to google advanced and type what your are searching and clubsearay.com for the site it works.
