The search function on this forum is not so great. However, you can get around that by using google. This is the general format.

start with:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=
then words you want to search for with a plus after each:
hoopstudies+usage+
then this to specify the website:
site%3Asonicscentral.com%2Fapbrmetrics%2F+
Ta-da!

It's much easier just to type into the google search bar:

"site:sonicscentral.com search terms" (without the quotes)

Where search terms is just what you want to search for.

No offense to Dean but when I clicked the link in the first post Google had a better idea for search criteria

If Google has found a lot of stuff on this site with "homostuds", I have missed A LOT of threads (with no regrets).

To do everyone a small favor, I put together a Google Co-op engine...

Click Here

If anybody involved in site maintenance would like to put a searchbox on the site, just use the following code:

Code:
<!-- Google CSE Search Box Begins  -->
<form action="http://" id="searchbox_004713484023555134363:xw2_qw90gdy">
  <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="004713484023555134363:xw2_qw90gdy" />
  <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:10" />
  <input type="text" name="q" size="25" />
  <input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/coop/cse/brand?form=searchbox_004713484023555134363%3Axw2_qw90gdy"></script>
<!-- Google CSE Search Box Ends -->
