Default Fantastic Google Search Feature

I do not know if folks know how to do this, but I never use forum search engines...I always go through google.
Say I wanted to search for Discovery II 2003 on this forum, www.landroverforums.com. I would put the following into the search box at google.com and hit the search button.

discovery II 2003 site:www.landroverforums.com


So essentially, put your search terms first, followed by the forum you want to search, but make sure you put site: before the url.

This is how I have found everything, from what the problems were with 2003 Discos to what additives to add to my gas and oil, etc. If I cannot find it with this search feature, I know it has probably not been asked or discussed very often. I also do this on other land rover forums, as well as the other places I frequent. You can use it to search any site you want.

Hope this helps someone...it sure helped me when I was told how to use it!
