Thumbs down Steve, and mods in general, please take a minute to get the search working...

...before you snootily tell a person looking for information to search, then lock the thread as if it were the total answer:

https://themustangsource.com/f726/an...oughts-506587/

I mean, really, I DID a search with that awful thing, and I got all kinds of threads EXCEPT the one needed that says "HERE I IS!!!"

Searching for specifically this:

"Side Exhaust"

With quotes, mind, yielded stupid results. Stupid. Oh, it's there, but not terribly obvious.

To elvism, to comply with the Overlord's request, please use Google in this manner:

site:forums.themustangsource.com "whatever it is you want to search for"

With or without quotes. Like so:
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient...ide+exhaust%22
Right there, on the top, tada, THE thread, apparently.

Mods, Make the search DO THIS instead of using Vbulletin's, and you might have a reason to be uppity about searching.

/That snobishness, that superiorism, just got to me.
//And if I'm banned, so be it, I would do it again, and again, it's just wrong what happened there, being how awful the search is.

So . . . and I'm quoting Overboost . .

Please take a minute to search before you post...

https://themustangsource.com/f651/st...-699-a-503279/
. . . is what you consider "uppity," "snobishness," and "superiorism?"

I know the search isn't perfect, but directing someone to "try" (using the word "please" no less) the search function and also providing a thread that may be helpful seems very appropriate in my eyes.

Using 'side exhaust' in our search function (without quotes) the thread Overboost posted came back in the Top 5 results (notwithstanding this thread) and using 'side exhaust sound' resulted in the thread showing up in the Top 2. So . . . perhaps the search isn't working properly for all and if not it needs to be addressed.

I used the search function and it found this thread to be uppity and superior.
