Don't put email in your posts. You are inviting spams! People can contact you by private messages if they want to or even send email thru the forum.

why dont u try the search thing in the forum itself

Code:

vista inurl:forum
vista inurl:forums
vista inurl:board
vista inurl:boards

And u can also include keyword intitle: for even more closer results.

Code:

intitle:vista inurl:forum
intitle:vista inurl:forums
intitle:vista inurl:board
intitle:vista inurl:boards

what is the problem in using the forum search.....r u so fond of google?

Imagine of u want to collect the information about a particular thing!
The BEST way is to search for the thing in forums and thats what the author of this post wants!

Me too always use this method to search for a particular thing!

PS: He doesnt want to search in this forum but in other forums.

Thanks !!! Vishal I got ur idea.Thanks for helping me out.

You can search only forums..there are clearer and better ways and specialised services to find post in forums only that too in specific catg.

You may find this site usefull.

Code:

*www.boardtracker.com

I use it often to find info...sometimes searching forums is better than searching in google.

Just to add to the already present google search tips: I found yet another google extression to search only forums/boards/messages using the synonym operator. eg:
*www.google.com/search?q=inurl:~forum+siriusb

You can also use these here specialized sites as well:
*www.findinforums.com/
*www.omgili.com/
*www.big-boards.com/

It is better to learn/remember those syntax rather than using readymade website which are not at all custumizable.
