    Yes search function is pretty poor.

    Use google type in "Site:forum.cakewalk.com your search string" that works really well.

    Try a Google search to find missing topics. It has worked for me in the past. Just include Sonar forum and subject and it usually does the job. Sorry...double post. FBB already made suggestion.

    Hmm..must remember that Google tip.
    The forum search is unbelievable and unpredictable. Sometimes I havent found my own posts even by writing the exact thread title.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.

    Hi there Jeff
     
    If you have the Google Toolbar installed, just add the Search Site button  which saves you from typing this every time
     
    It's never let me down yet.

    I found this thread by typing 'Frog Banana Rimsky-Korsakov'
    You just have to think outside of the box.

    Google works as suggested as long as 'forum.cakewalk' is in the decription .

    But what do I do if the frog eats the banana before I've ripped your corset off?

    Then that will take you to the Hardware forum results.

    Juat do a Google search outside of the forum and it may find the post you want.

    If you have the Google Toolbar installed, just add the Search Site button  which saves you from typing this every time



    i'm using Google chrome and can't figure out how to get the button?

    John, it seems that the Google Toolbar rather ironically doesn't work with Google Chrome.

    After Steve posted I started searching for it and came up with this for firefox.

    Don't know if that helps and thanks for the tip Steve.

    I can't wait to gloat tell Bapsi that Straummy also helped FBB
     
    It does save a lot of time in IE Karl. Especially seeing as by highlighting any text on an IE webpage automatically inserts the selected text into the Google toolbar search window, you then just hit the site search button.
     
    I hope the FF version works as well.

    Actually, I may have to edit my reply to John - I have the Google Toolbar installed and working in Firefox. How do I know which version of FF I'm running?
