Does anyway know the proper way to use the search. When I try to use it I come up with waaaay to broad spectrum. It's like if the word or words have ever been used in a post it brings it up but I want to search for subject matter. Mayve I lack brain matter :?

The search function catalogs EVERY word ever posted on the TDPRI. It can get daunting, but limiting the number of words you use in the search string can help.

Unlike Google where you can ask: Where can I find Telecaster Guitars in Cleveland. If you did that on the TDPRI you'd get thousands of results.

Obvioulsy words like Telecaster are used millions of times here. Same for guitar. So try to fashion your search without these common words. If you're looking for a post on a Telecaster Custom. Just search for custom.

It's a trial and error process.

Good Luck
