    So are you looking for HT threads which talk about divorce, or on the rest of the web? Are you looking for something specific?

      The whole point of the search feature is to see if a topic has been previously discussed. If not, or if your question isn't answered by the results you find, then you should start a new thread. The primary problem with any message board is people who start threads without searching first, but searching is more than half the battle.

        The search function has to work first. It has now been fixed on HT.

            Old, embarrassing posts are no longer safe. We've created a monster!



            Here's another cute Google trick; enter this as your search term:

              Ah, thanks! (Of course Google has a search for that.) vBulletin's alleged "search" feature has been a PITA for years. Meanwhile Google's search has been popping up threads in as little as 24 hours on some of the boards I read.

              Could you give us a link or a paragraph on where/how to install "Custom Search" on vBulletin boards? I'd like to have a little constructive chat with another vBulletin board administrator who's heavily into denial about his problem...
