I tested the search and the advanced search and it kept finding everything I typed in [bustagut] [bustagut] [bustagut]

then I started to use obscure words...... still found them until....... I typed in straw! he he he no tutes or anything could be found for straw

when typing in some of the words it found it as part of another word.... would be good to be able to click something like............. "find as whole word only" or something like that other wise it works it's good and well done [righton]

Sue...

You try surrounding your word(s) with quotes?
Doesn't work for all search engines, but might work in this one.

Heya Nerdbyte... just curious...
How are you compiling this list of results that people get when they search for something? Are you actually "manually" adding urls to a database? Or is this being done more automated like?

I'm asking because it would appear that no matter what subject word i search with, i seem to get pretty much the entire Gurusnetwork list of tutes in the results; every time. Some times i get the "cbtcafe.com" site... but not very often. And those are pretty much the only 2 i've seen thus far.

Is Gurusnetwork directly/indirectly involved with your search engine site?
Just wondering... 8[ [oops]

nerdbyte

no they're not affiliated at all. i'm manually adding directories but the engine does the rest. can you list what keywords you are talking about. let me list what site you're supposed to be getting results from:

-http://www.adscape.com
-http://www.cbtcafe.com
-http://www.digitalmastery.com
-http://www.dsigning.com
-http://www.elated.com
-http://www.extropia.com
-http://www.goranation.com
-http://www.iboost.com
-http://www.graphic-design.com
-http://www.phong.com
-http://www.photoshopcafe.com/
-http://www.absolutecross.com
-http://www.spoono.com
-http://www.gurusnetwork.com
-http://www.digital-foundry.com

one of their tutorials (guru's network) is rust, i looked under rust and more than guru comes up.

can you make a list of keywords as you come across them that you're tlaking about please

I was just wondering nerdbyte, no biggy.

Question: you DO plan i adding THIS site to the list, right? [bustagut] ;\


Ya AW i too got no results for the word "Aqua". That's odd huh?

nerdbyte

yeah keeper, just a couple questions, about how many pages is your site and can you put a robots.txt in the forums directory or it will attempt to spider all your forums.
