Ironically, I've searched for posts in this forum about the search engine, and not found any. So I'm clear to post this question again. Is there something that can be done to make searches return more sensible results? I just went to find the stand/crouch/swim resource for someone. Its title it 'adding new positions and moves', and when I put exactly that into the search bar (even enclosed in double quotes), the resource isn't even on the first page of the results. Which seems a little odd.

    Sometimes I found Google.com far better than the local site search. For cases like yours, is the mandatory option. Go to google.com and search for:

    site:garagegames.com adding new positions and moves

    The first result is the one you want.


    The current site search is far better than the old broken GG google box. Still, a properly working google box would be better...

    Thanks for the tip ;P.

    For anyone else struggling with the search, I just discovered that it is case-sensitive. So I probably would have gone better searching with an 'Adding' instead of 'adding'.
