Finding things

So I was dying to bitch about Kubrick. One of our posters mentioned The Shining and I really hate that film and pretty much everything I've seen that Stanley Kubrick had a hand in. Anyway I used our search engine. Utterly useless. I tried to use Google but it's not come up with anything and I don't know if my search terms just aren't close enough. So what do you think I should put in to really search to see if we have the thread I'm looking for?

I mean, do we really not have a Kubrick thread?

add site:www.barbelith.com at the end of any google search and it will give you only results from Barbelith

Thanks chuck. I am now possessed of the knowledge that there is no Kubrick thread. I'd start one but it would be a bit- well- negative and I don't think anyone deserves that.

Or you can set google to search only barbelith automatically (or any other page for that matter) - like this.

Could we maybe have Jub's link there replace the one to the board's internal search function? I've put it in the Wiki under FindingStuff, but it would make more sense to have a front-line link, as it were.

start a Kubrick thread! I'm more or less pro-Kubrick, so I'm curious what you have to say.

Yeah, can't you get those little buttons that say "search this site with Google?"

I think using one of those would spoil the visual identity of the board. But it should be possible to code the link into the search button, no?

Gosh, this is getting so techie.

You start the thread Papi and then I'll argue with you.

I've been trying to find that joke, what was it a blue ox? Something about an Ox - you know the one... can someone find it?

I'd just like to say thanks to fridge and jub for those tips. They've proved a really big help, mainly for tracking down Temple info.
