This is in reply to the sticky announcement "using google to search this forum" by indi.

The Google advanced search technique "site:http://forum.thegamecreators.com" is excellent. Perhaps TGC can add an "Advanced Search" box next to the "Thread Subject Search" which links to Google using this and automatically appends the "site:" parameter.

This would be really helpful.

Remove the need for a sticky too; though it might require an affiliate program with Google or something (no idea) which could be a pain. Then again we already carry some of their text ads don't we?

Many sites use this technique to search their own pages, here's an example link:
