Folks, I have attached a little html file that allows you to do a search on 3 different sword forums. I find most forum search engines to be lacking in finding what I am looking for. This tool isn't perfect but it seems to find what I am looking for. It uses google to search the chosen forum. Below is a screen shot: It is just a simple search tool, but it seems to find stuff pretty good. As an example, I searched this forum for scabbard, and got 1080 hits, next I searched for scabbard poplar and got 41 hits, next I searched for scabbard poplar brass and got 1 hit. HINT: If you enclose your search text in quotes the search will tend to look for the text as typed. As an example: If you type in new pommel the search will look for any thing that contains the words new and pommel. On the other hand if you were to add quotes like this: "new pommel" then it will only find articles that contain something like: I really like my new pommel.Just download the zip file and unzip it anywhere on your drive you wish, click on it and it will open in your browser of choice. -gaffer Attachments:

And since it's a simple HTML file it works like a charm in Linux, too. +1 from me for having a great idea and for executing it so elegantly.

Thanks again everyone! And since it's a simple HTML file it works like a charm in Linux, too. +1 from me for having a great idea and for executing it so elegantly. Yes, it should work in any browser, and OS. I have to keep it simple, it is all I know :>). -gaffer

What's a guy gotta do to be stickied around here? Oh, come up with something that is really very helpful to this sword community! ;D I have never been able to find anything using the search feature here. But I was able to find my review of "Hero's Axe" without any trouble, even though I misspelled Cas Henwei. So here's another +1 for someone well deserving of it!

It's at the bottom under "Forum Statistics." It says "View the 10 most recent posts of this forum"
The link takes you here:
