2015-05-12 14:19:43 - search option for secific item in tech support
Hi there, I've noticed that one cannot search the tech support board for an specific item. I wanted to search the board to see if my problem has been mentioned before and/or solved.
So I think maybe a search option is something to think off.
for my problem I made a new post.

A search function for the forum has been requested a couple of times before. I'm sure at some point we'll have a search function in this, or a new forum.

For now, you can use google to search the sailonline forums, type in:
site:sailonline.org/board parrot
to search for "parrot" on the sailonline forums.

I did a google search on this and got 328 results.
search forum site:sailonline.org/board


To use google search to search sailonline forums.
use the word or term then type site:sailonline.org/board
example: to find posts on performance loss, type
performance loss site:sailonline.org/board
then hit "enter"...you should get 271 results, which is a lot easier to scan than the entire forum.
Another example: to find posts by javakedna, type
javakeda site:sailonline.org/board
then hit "enter" you'll over 500 mentions of javakedna

Which brings up another question, why not put one of these posts about how to search the forum into the "sticky" category? Also maybe all the "sticky" threads should be in their own section. Maybe under the title "FAQ".

Some time ago I set up a Custom Search provided by Google and anyone can use it from their own browser.

Cut and paste this url into your browse and open it. https://goo.gl/4CJ6K9

Then save/bookmark the page. I call mine "Sailonline.org Forum Search"

You should now have a search facility for the SOL Forum

Just remember it is not part of the SOL web site and is a separate stand alone page generated by Google.

I will see if someone can embed a link in an appropriate place on the SOL site and also follow up Jack's suggestion.

Current Races:

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Bornholm PYOC


Welcome to the Baltic Sea, where we are about to hold another sprint race. The course runs from the north to the south of the beautiful Bornholm island. There are only two waypoints, the start and the finish so the choice of which side of the island to sail along is up to you. Our Albin 79s will cover a distance of approximately 23 nautical miles.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
