Must be an Idiot - How do I search forums?

[Bohemian Ear Spoon]

OK, so call me an idiot whatever, I don't see a search function. I am trying to see if a player is exploiting the 3E spell "Mage Hand" by making it make attacks with his staff and I cant find the search function!!!

I'll direct you to this announcement: http://www.enworld.org/forum/announcement.php?f=35&a=82

You must be a paying Community Supporter to unlock the Search function here. It's a resource hog, so it's disabled for non-supporter accounts.

You have to be a community supporter to get the Search function.

ZOMG MICRO-TRANSACTIONS!

You might be an idiot, but it's more likely you don't have a Community Supporter account. It could be both, but I tend to think it's (mostly) the latter.

Nah, it would be a micro transaction if every search costs some money.

I'm dirt poor, so although I love EN World, I'm not a community supporter.

However, you can make searches on EN World through Google, like this:

Type in:

site:enworld.org searchstring

So:

site:enworld.org mage hand

Would pop up a bunch of old forum threads containing it, only from EN World.

Works with all other sites as well, but it is particularly nifty for forum searches imo.

 

[Darkness]

site:enworld.org mage hand

Or if you want to narrow it down a little:

site:enworld.org "mage hand"

I'm really surprised no one has made a search engine for enworld.org, I'm sure it can't be that hard

There is a search engine, but it's a community supporter feature.
