The search button rarely seems to work on this thing. I remember where someone actually gave provided a URL where you enter the subject you were searching for at the end, but I can't find it again. Does anyone know it or a better way to search? Thanks

Yes, the search function can be a real headache (mods also have to contend with it, like anyone else). Another way to search is to use a search engine, like Google. For the search terms, put in whatever you are searching for, plus "site:eslcafe.com" (no quotation marks).

Use this:

http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=017533085494576982167:viirjoto5h0

Do you use firefox or chrome? If so, I have a cool trick for you.

Never had much of a problem with search. I just use quotes or make sure i check the search for all words bubble. Sad that isn't the default setting (mods look into this?). Then again, i'm not searching for "places to get kitten mittens on Jeju Island at 4am" so maybe its just me.

All you have to do is search google for whatever you're looking for, and at the end, type site:forums.eslcafe.com

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
