Here's a couple of older threads I found on the site using our new Google CSE (Custom Search Engine) and searching on the phrase "austrian enfield" …

Osterr Gendarmerie No1 Mk3

German marked SMLE (real or fake?)

For DEEP searches, try our new Google CSE (Custom Search Engine) which is located at the top right corner of the forums, just under the standard search box. It's a piece of custom code from Google that just searches Milsurps.Com posts and threads, including the archive.

To be honest, I've never been thrilled with vBulletin's built-in search capability, particularly the 4 character minimum and the fact that it often behaves "quirky" with certain characters such as periods and slashes etc.

I find Google's capabilities much better, plus they don't have any problems with either the number of characters being searched on, or the special type of characters I mentioned above.

So, give it a try and you might find some really interesting old threads like these with content about topics you either never knew about or had forgotten.

Hope that helps …

Regards,
Doug
