Search RFF on the new RFF software

[CameraQuest]

For those who had difficulty searching the new RFF

1) use google.com - not other search engines

https://www.google.com/advanced_search


2) RFF searches, members log into RFF - always click REMEMBER ME or you will likely get logged out when you don't want to be

go to either of the FORUMS or NEW TOPICS beneath Rangefinderforum.com

noticed the ADVANCED SEARCH on the line above SEARCH RESULTS

CLICK IT - you will then be at RFF's advance search menu

it is the only search this RFF software offers

Best,
Stephen

Thank you Stephen. I will try it out.

Thanks Stephen.

Usually site:www.rangefinderforum.com <keyword(s)> in any search engine should work but may point to the older RFF.

My main gripe with the current site-search is the fact that there is no way to search for a specific combination of keywords. Other search engines let you use quotation marks or plus symbols to combine keywords and to ensure that all characters are included in the result, but this does not work here. Instead, any special characters such as dots are omitted. An example: if I search for '8.5 cm' I'll have to sift through many results containing anything that contains 'cm' or '5 cm', but I cannot search specifically for '8.5 cm'.

Usually, but probably not with RFF. It is optimized for Google search.

yep, unfortunately there is no way for us to alter that in the software interface.

Use google advanced searched instead.
