Hint for when SEARCH doesn't work

[AllieInMD]

We all know that SEARCH works sporadically at best.

 

If you are looking for something - go to Google - and put in the search term you are looking for such as "RCCL wine & dine" and ADD into the search term "cruise critic".

 

Someone was looking for an ipod list for a cruise -the thread was from earlier in the year - using google like this it came right up.

 

I've used this many times to find a thread I was looking for or when search did not work.

 

Happy searching!

Another tip to using the Cruise Critic search option is to keep your search words to a minimum. I try to use no more than two words at most.

If you add the following:

 

site:cruisecritic.com

 

Google will limit the searches to the CC site and help refine your search even more.

 

You can add any url following the site:, I use this for tripadvisor.com all fo the time as well.

When search didn't work for me yesterday I went to the 3rd page and tried from there and got in. All I missed was 2 pages but still got some info.
