    Is it possible to do a search in this forum? I see the pages go back over 15 years. If I want to find something I bought two years ago is there a way to do that without going page by page?

    Only one I found is using another search engine and specifying site:backpackinglight.com as a paramter… maybe others know something I don’t.

    Double clicking on your photo icon. When the next page opens click on the forums tab.

    Not sure if this will help but this is what I use to search https://lwhiker.com/used-gear-search

    It does search other forums as well.

    Thanks guys, forgot about the messages and forums under my user. Just wish there were date stamps reflected there.

    That is a mystery that has not been explained. Search can be setup to be section specific, but it is a more laborious process than leaving it as general search. Still, for a pay to use, member driven website, it is not too much to ask. But for all of Ryan and crews’ hard work it’s not a point worth hammering on. I’m here for their knowledge, not web development. That said, refining the Search feature would benefit the members by making specific information more easily available.
