if you are using firefox, someone has provided a usefull plug in, it allows you to search straight from the search bar. I find its easier than google as you dont have to be on google first and also just searches TMF instead of the whole of the net. (cheers WoMaD)

The plug in doesn't really help that much. For instance, if I try to search for "CV joint", the TMF search engine still can't help me because it contains a word of less than 3 characters.

I understand what your saying - but in that instance,... CV isn't a word.... so try searching for 'Constant velocity joint' rather than abbreviating it

Still haven't had a problem with the search function on here - Used to use it loads and it always found what I wanted.

Yeah, but noone types constant velocity joint, so nothing comes up!

It does not let you search for 'MOT' either. Can you set the min to 2 letters??
