An 'object' is something like a mountain / rock, route, area / range, etc.

If you are searching for something posted in a forum, select 'Forums' instead. If you want to find a user select 'People'. If you want to look for a particular image, select 'Images'.

I'm a sex object.

sp's is not perfect but pretty good. cascadeclimbers.com search engine for example is based on a random walk generator -- returns interesting, even if not relevant, results.

I believe single quotes will do the trick -- for example, try searching the forums for 'llama trekking' :mrgreen:

Good, they finally fixed the forum search. And it appears the single quotes are no longer necessary.

OK..... Yes the advanced thing works.

I guess I have been "searching" for things, that exist in the Sierra, but are not on SP....

Maybe time to add more stuff.

THX all who answered.

I often search SP using Google. In Google just type:

soft shell jackets site:summitpost.org

Google will then only search for pages with URL summitpost.org. It's also quite a bit faster.

The problem with searching with Google is that you only get hits on the last page of each thread.

When a thread containes several pages, Google assumes that the newer ones are updates and does not retain the earlier pages.

At least that's what my experience tells me.
