Hereīs a post from a fellow searcher about how to search here:
Go to "Advanced Search", select the "search Single Content Type" tab, put "safety" in as a key word, in Search in Forums select "Female Hiker Forums", under Find Posts select "Any date" and "and newer", hit the Search Now button and you will find all kinds of threads on the subject.
That just gave me a headache. Quite frankly, the search engine on MOST forums, including White Blaze, sucks. If you donīt do it EXACTLY right you either get NO HITS, or you get every thread that was ever posted.
Hereīs a suggestion from one of the moderators who agrees that the search engine in White Blaze sucks, so it pays to go off site to get White Blaze thread links.
In your browser type in site:http://whiteblaze.net (subject you are searching) and include the word you are searching. I tried this for site:http://whiteblaze.net women aloneand got 3500 hits on White blaze.
