Merged again

Carnut · August 08, 2013, 05:21:18 AM

I was 99% certain this was a re-post, but I searched several times for "Simca Caron Bouvot" and "Simca Caron-Bouvot" and nothing came up!

That's because "Simca" was not mentioned in the original puzzle title...

You MUST search for the right thing to get a result!!

Allemano · August 08, 2013, 05:22:37 AM

I often think about how many time it would take to merge all still un-merged topics.... $:-\$

I've said it before - it would help to have a standardised format for puzzle titles. Maybe a sequence of fields for date, maker, engine source, body type etc..

Having said that, it's all too late !

I didn't search for Simca, and found it immediately. I posted elsewhere the search string to find most any thread in AutoPuzzles. I don't recall where, so I'll tell you again:

Using Google or Bing (or Yahoo, which is realy Bing with a different wrapper), use the following search string:

site:autopuzzles.com NameOfThingYouAreLookingFor

NameOfThingYouAreLookingFor should be replaced with the car, person, or other subject you are looking for. And don't run the words together, like I did.
You may have to adjust the search by adding or deleting words, but it works virtually every time. I searched on just the word 'Bouvot' and found it straight away.

Try it - you'll like it!

That would take almost as much time as renaming all of the puzzles per a standard format.
