Ok super frustrated here, Possibly someone could help. I try the search feature and nothing comes up, I try all different search terms for example...

HPA R32 Nothing
R32 Nothing
HPA Nothing

WTF?

Then I go to google and search GT5 HPA and there you have 7,000 posts with the title in the Thread HPA 32 ... This sucks when your looking for a tune or want to post and are doing your due diligence to make sure something is not already out there???

So I go to the search options and make sure everything is OK there and all is fine, I even go as far as searching ALL GT5 Forums even though what I may want may be in the Tune Forum... MODS?? Anyone Please help...
 
Sadly the people who tell everyone to "use the search button" forget that vBulletin searches suck and that the Google default sucks harder.

It's still a great site but like any very busy forum it can be hard to zone in on the information you need.

Well said my friend, 100% correct! 👍
 
Are you using Advanced Search? The basic search at the top of the page won't help.

You just have to know how to use the search function. You can't find "HPA R32" because there is no HPA R32... it's an HPA Golf R32.

So, type "HPA Golf" (with the quotation marks) and you get a full set of search results. In fact, more than the default search limiter can hold. After that, simply add limiters to your search parameters till you get what you want.

The forum search function isn't quite as comprehensive as a full Google Search... but no forum search I've ever used is. But they will do if you know what you're looking for and how to describe it properly.
