suggestion

can we get something a little shorter than 60 seconds between searchs. takes forever to find previsous posting when you have to wait a minute between them.

thanks,
tom

Nice title... it got my attention...

We do this to keep the server from crashing. I agree, a minute is a long time, but it's better than not having a site at all. Jack posted a link a while back on how to use google as the search engine for the site, I just have to find it.

Thanks for the math, but I hate to tell ya, life doesn't work that way. Especially on the DTR..

It is what it is. The 60 second limit between searches isn't going anywhere.

Knowing how to properly use a search engine as well can be a GREAT benefit both in finding the info you are after and minimizing our time spent searching.

Take a moment to think about what you are really searching for and then try to describe it in a fashion that will limit false returns. Being specific can lead to better search results so it is worthwhile to take the time to think before searching.

Hope that helps, it sure has helped me

That indeed is, I wasn't trying to give you a bad time just point out a helpful tip....

You would be amazed how many guys would search "tire size 275/70/18 07 Dodge Ram Diesel Pickup" and end up with no response because they over run the allotted memory on the server.

if the first search fails, use the google option, tax their servers to find your answers.
