Yeah, I saw the minus sign and thought you perhaps wasn't so impressed by Google, considering you're always excluding what you're looking for.It also has the advantage of being able to exclude words/phrases from the search.

Good that you found it.All we have to do is go to Google and write: "site:b4x.com B4RSerializator".
Did you perhaps pick an unfortunate example? Searching for B4RSerializator gives me the correct (as best as I can tell) post as the first result:

That said, you are correct that using an external search engine is needed sometimes, such as when one wants to search (for instance) Chit Chat. That forum (and some others) aren't searchable using the internal search engine.
Good that you found it.
It has been mentioned in the Forum by few members already, not to minimize your effort.
I too use it when the Forum search throws something which I am not looking for.
Lets say we are searching for "B4RSerializator". All we have to do is go to Google and write: "site:b4x.com B4RSerializator". It will be in the first page responses definitely what you want.
This is my preferred way of searching almost anywhere. Not just here.
In fact, I have implemented a custom search engine for this exact purpose. I just enter gs <search term> in the omnibar, and Google will search for the given term on the current url. gs is for "Google Site Search".
Go to chrome://settings/searchEngines and click Add.
Now enter
From now on, wherever you are, just enter gs <term> to seach for that term.
- Google Site Search (or whatever) for the name
- gs for the keyword
- javascript:location="https://www.google.com/search?&as_sitesearch=" + location.hostname + "&as_q=%s";void 0; for the url
I have used it for years. And I have a bunch of similar search engines.
Looks like this works only in chrome. I use FF and the option to add it is not available in settings.Go to chrome://settings/searchEngines and click Add.
in the address bar typeLooks like this works only in chrome. I use FF
