Please explain how to use forum's search feature

Hello,

I have used many forums over the years and this has to be one of the worse searching for something.

Please explain how to use it as every time I put in terms like click healing or healing is says the words are to common
or some other strange thing and refuses to give me any results.

What use is a search box if it doesn't work?

Yeah, phpbb's search function leaves much to be desired.

Here's what I do...

Step 1. Go to google
Step 2. search starting with "site:isboxer.com"

Example: site:isboxer.com click healing

I generally search a little wider than just isboxer.com as there is a significant amount of ISBoxer-related information on both dual-boxing.com and youtube. Googling "isboxer click healing" is what I would do in your example case.

I just usually just do a plain ole google search, that way I get dual-boxing.com in there too.

Overall, I really like this forum software. Is this the same software (with a different skin) used at dual-boxing.com, or completely different? I prefer this one.

It's different... d-b uses vBulletin.
