Search Tips Fewer words and selections get more results. Start with one or two words and if you get too many matches, add criteria like boat model or forum. Search using "All words" and in the title field first. That will get any obvious matches as quickly as possible. Searching the entire message is effective, but slow. Using "any word" will usually return too many irrelevant matches. Posts open in a new window. It's a bit annoying, but it keps your search results safe so you don't have to search again after reading a thread. Forum and model selections are optional. No forum selection = all forums, all sites. No model selection = all models. To restrict the search to your boat brand, select either a model or a forum. Avoid small words. Currently, the search function will only seek keywords of four letters or more. We know that's a problem and are working on a solution.
