Classified Searching
Is there a good way of searching for specific items in the classified section. For example, I would like to do a search for j frame holsters. How would I go about doing that?

I would go to "Search" then "Advanced Search." Once in the advanced search screen, you can search just the "Gear and Accessories" forum in The Gun Show.

The vBulletin search function, frankly, sucks.
Your best bet is to use your favorite search engine and insert the phrase "site:thefiringline.com/forums" and then your search criteria. Regular search engines use Boolean Operators (AND, OR, NOT or AND NOT) which allow you to narrow or expand your search and their "IQ" just seems a lot higher.

You can use any or all search engines you wish to use. We don't want to limit an external search to any one of them. Some folks, rightly or wrongly, don't trust Google so using that one exclusively would not be a very friendly thing to do.
Google has a function that will allow anyone to create a permanent search function for any specific site. I'm not sure if you also have to have a Google account or a gmail email account for it to work. Here's the link to the function: https://www.google.com/cse/manage/create |
