Default Search Feature

The search feature never seems to find anything for me, even when I know it's in the forum. Can that be corrected?

Under "trading post" for sale, I click on "search this forum", and type in anything, like "127", and get sorry no matches found.

I will admit, that I don't use this feature much. But I did look into the Program Options and everything seems to be in order. I played with the feature for a couple of days. I did notice this when searching for "Cub 127", I got this ... " The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search: Cub, 127"

Thus, in searching, the more information you put into the Search Window the better your results are going to be. For example, you want to find posts on the model 127. 127 will not bring anything up because it is too short. Same goes for "Cub 127". But if you put Cub Cadet 127 in the search window.........you get many responses.

Default try google

I don't know the Search type that is OCC has set up with vBulletin, but it may not be using the MySQL Full Text search, which indexes the entire body of the posts, which takes up a lot of space and when creating those indexes will take a long time to create. Luckily google has a way to search a specific site, and it indexes the entire body, and does a really great job of searching OCC.

Go to google.com. In the search box type in your query like this (don't use the double quotes!): "site:onlycubcadets.net Cub 127" (no space between site: and onlycubcadets.net)

You must use onlycubcadets.net because the .com does not expose the entire url, so google isn't able to index the .com site, only the .net site.

I don't know if google charges for it, but I know you can put the google search box on the site and it will give the option of searching just the site, or searching the entire web. If it's free it might be a good feature to add.

It appears to recognize words and not numbers. If I look for -127 cub cadet- in the for sale search, it will show me threads that say "cub cadet", but not all the shown threads have 127. I tried the same thing with -125 for sale-, and got threads that showed "for sale", but not necessarily 125. I will experiment some more.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
