You have to be VERY specific in your searches, there is SO MUCH information here that if you use a common word like "transmission" you will max out the server and cause an error because it is trying to bring you back a million responses.

Use Google to search the forum, that helps a great deal on common stuff

Hmmm. Okay Say I am in the 3rd Gen Performance parts section, I hit search this forum and I get kicked back to the main forum page? I can however use the main search button and then scroll down to the correct forum section and search that way.

I'm kind of computer illiterate so don't mind me if I am saying the wrong thing, but I believe I am using google chrome?

Ok, so try firefox and tell me what happens. Chrome and vBulletin sites don't always play well together. I love that browser, but I don't use it here for that very reason.
