Thanks, GeekDude and Blackholyman; I've made a sarch link in my browser homepage that has thie site modifiers already filled in. My first tests were disappoing, though: google "site:ahkscript.org/boards/ | site:autohotkey.com/board/ Query WM_INPUT" does not produce many hits. But then the coffee kicked in and I fixed it, and it works very well indeed. [edit] Google search syntax implies and its advanced search page says you can search only one site at a time, so I've make two search links, one for each forum.

I don't think phpBB has ever had exceptional tools for searching. I use google exclusively. A fun trick is site:ahkscript.org/boards/ OR site:autohotkey.com/board/ Query, which searches both the AHKScript and AutoHotkey forums.

Thanks. Just seems reasonable to me, though, that I should be able to use the search box on the forum page to search the forum. But your answers have given me a way to get to the info and that's a big help.

Don't know but you can use the custom google search on the front page of ahkscript.org

Or normal google search using the site param with something like this site:www.ahkscript.org/boards/

Whenever I use the forum search for WM_INPUT (e.g.) the search response says it ignores "WM" and looks only for "INPUT". Placing WM_INPUT in quotes finds nothing. How do you search for things like this?
