Gearswap Search Help

[Robert Jones]

Not an item to buy or selll.

Is there a method to search this site other than scroolling?

Thanks for any help.

On mobile there is a search box, click on the 3 bars towards the top left of the header

Is the question about searching particular sub-forums (like gear swap) versus searching the entire site?  I can see that being a need.  I wanted to see if anyone was selling a vargo bot 700.  I could search the entire site (which has its benefits), but would like to just search gear swap.

Not perfect, but if I was searching for a Vargo Bot in gear swap, I’d not use the BPL search (which is way too basic for a site search in this day and age), I’d instead type the following in the URL bar: vargo bot gear swap site:backpackinglight.com

Agreed.  I think that’s what the OP was wondering.  Is there a decent way to search this site, or is it just easier to use google search with the “site:” operator.

along with that, is there a way to sort by post date?  They do not appear in date order, which is frustrating.  I cna’t tell if something was posted yesterday or in 2016 without clicking on every one.  I even added 2020 to the search and it was zero help.
