Searching....

Does anyone know how I can search this site?

CGN google search.

Or whatever you're looking for on google followed by "calguns".



What exactly are you trying to find?

I agree. I have had nearly zero success using the "Search" function on the site, but Google seems to turn up most of what I am looking for. Maybe when the big advertising dollars come in after HRC election and her new gun EO implementation, we can get an improved search round here.

I faintly remember that if I went to www.calguns.net, without the "/forums" on it, there was a search box. I could type in, e.g., SIGP226, and find any threads that contain tat.

Now the search box seems to have disappeared. If I type in www.calguns.net, it automatically fills in the "/forums."

Click the link in the top right corner of the banner below the ads.

You can search once in a sub forum on the right hand side

Cleverly hidden.

Thanks

Obvious button on the cellphone version. Upper right all by itself.

The standard page is not as obvious, but it's not hidden either.

The built-in forum search isn't usable for 3 character or less search items.

For that I recommend using google site search.

In a google search box, enter site:someSiteName.com then your search terms.

Remember that Google will not search some subforums (like OT for instance).

When using the search tool on the forum, here are some helpful tips:

Use wildcard character *
Use the term AND
Use the term OR
Use quotes for exact terms " "

For example, if I was searching all handgun marketplace ads just to see what was around me, I might use

sac* OR auburn OR lincoln OR elk* OR folsom

You get the idea

If searching for a specific gun you might use "glock 42" OR g42 OR glock42

For a glock in sacramento, it would be sac* AND glock*

I have great success using advanced search. Once you get the hang of it, it works quite well.

[AreWeFree]

in duckduckgo, or other search engines like google, use: (add operators as you please)

search terms site:website.tld

for instance:

2183 follower site:calguns.net
