    Motoring Alliance has had a Google Search function for quite some time and I just noticed I have been remiss in posting about it.

    Quite frankly the built in search function the forum software has leaves a bit to be desired, even the Advanced Search can't find stuff. It is an inherent weakness, to that end a Google Search has been added. It leverages the power of Google to search Motoring Alliance.

    Under the Search drop down is the the following:

    Note the middle entry of Google Search. Enter your search term in that center block and click Search. A Google search results page will open with only items found on Motoring Alliance.

    This will search the entire site including the Library. Makes it very easy to search for 3 letter items now as well.

    Great work Nathan!
    The Google search function should really help with questions about all things MINI such as tunes, warranties and certainly the "anyone with these wheels" questions. I cringe if I dare recall the number of hours I have spent trying to sift through NAM using its search function versus going to Google. Thanks for the post!

    Even with the search if you can't find something please ask. You'll not get a "Use the search" from me.
