I saw where Google search can be added to this software.
Many other forum like MyE28.com has that ability.
I have such a hard time finding things things on here. Probably me but I have seen others post problems as well.

Dan, is this something you could or would do?

I'll look into this. There are addons for this software for google search but the only time I've heard any complaints is when you search for a word less than 4 characters. There are also limitations to using google search if you use up your allotted searches (cost money to use it), but it's been a while since I've looked.

Gary in the meantime you can use Google to search the forum site. Go to google home page and type your search term then add "site:http://www.e9coupe.com/" with a space between.

So if you are looking for a 3 letter search term like "ATE" for brakes (or any other words) it would look like this in the google search window:

ATE site:http://www.e9coupe.com/

The forum code is changing the http://www.e9coupe.com/ part to a clickable hyper link, ignore it.

Example:

https://www.google.com/search?num=30&lr=&safe=active&hl=en&as_qdr=all&ei=a-4KXOjWEo-IsQX_p7eACQ&q=ate+site:http://www.e9coupe.com/&oq=ate+site:http://www.e9coupe.com/&gs_l=psy-ab.3...15026.15633..16587...0.0..0.84.267.4......0....1..gws-wiz.mtsdWalQZZU
