Example:
Marlin 336 in 35 "LP"?
Found it with google.
Go on site and put in exact title and I get no matches. It has (Archive)-Cast Boolits in title on heading on google.

Because Google has a multi-billion-dollar search engine in an industry where developing software to optimize "hits" means life of death to the company. I use Google to find stuff here all the time.

Instead of using the sites search function I generally type this into google

Thank you from the tech challenged
Thank you so much.
I just hate it when someone bash people for not using the sites search function
They complain when they ask a Question. Like we are lazy or something.
I rarely can find a answer when I search Cast Boolits.
This is one their pet peeves. it quit frankly offended me. People who know everything forget they were new once.
This tool will be fantastic.
This should be made a sticky.

DUUU! Now why in the world didn't I think of that?
My clumsy fingers pecking around trying to dig up something outta the archives when I got "a billion dollar search engine" just sitting there idle, geesh!
When it comes to Muzzle Loaders, Black Powder Matters.
One of my pet peeves is people saying they have searched the site, and can't find info. Especially when the subject they are searching for, is a sticky!
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
The point here is the seach dosent work, more than 3/4 the time.
It is what it is. Maybe I am just Dumb then, if you can get it to work
Try searching colt 45 you get 5000 hits
colt 9mm 648 hits

Yup, in a sticky, or in three other active thread titles already in progress on the first page of the forum in which the new question is posted.One of my pet peeves is people saying they have searched the site, and can't find info. Especially when the subject they are searching for, is a sticky!

I've never had call to use that here but I DO use a similar technique when searching an Classic Audio forum I'm a member of. Their search function is much worse.
Oh, and that technique works for Yahoo search too - I don't use google.

Or when there's a whole section dedicated to the subject with numerous stickies on the exact question they're asking. Anything really important in this game is cover, re covered and re-re covered on this site.
Here we go again. Gees
We are given a tool to help us seach because CB search is not the best

Here's a simple way to run a cast boolit search without too much typing & and brain scratching trying to remember the site name:
1) Do a google search for: "site:http://castboolits.gunloads.com/" (without the quotation marks).
2) Bookmark the page.
Now every time you want to do a search, just click the bookmark and add your search word(s) to the end of the search line.
