    Been doing a lot of searching of the forums. The site's own search feature (including the option to use Google) is a little lacking. Decided to make a simple shortcut to search the site quickly using the Chrome browser search/address bar. Likely other browser programs have similar features. Here is how you can do the same:
    • Right click in the empty white area of the address bar and select "Edit search engines..."
    • A new settings tab opens, from here click "Add" (should be about 1/3 down the screen on right side)
    • A pop-up opens. Fill in the info like so...
      • For search engine input something like: TacomaWorld
        • (can be any title, not critical)
      • For keyword input the two letters: tw
        • (can be anything, but "tw" is fast and easy to remember)
      • Copy-paste this into the URL field:
      • Click Save
    Using the feature:
    • In a new tab, click on address bar then type: tw [your search]
    • You will get results only from TacomaWorld.com of [your search]
