I tried to do a site search, using the "site:" bit and all I got were hits from beerleg.com/portal. I'm not saying the site search is good or bad, just using what I am used to.

That is a Google search trick. If you don't want to use our built-in search function, then you could search for your terms on Google and add site:beerleg.com to the query. Otherwise, just type the terms you are looking for in our search box and hit enter.

That's what I did! To show you what I got, I typed "site:beerleg.com tactical" in order to find a thread with a link for some pants I wanted to order. I got a no results message, and just doing "site:beerleg.com yields the aforementioned subdirectory listings. So I thought perhaps you had simply told Google to bugger off from other folders.

Oh, the site search does actually perform quite well, finding the thread I wanted on the first page.

Google apparently knows this site only by one of its names.

site:surveyorconnect.com tactical
works fine, but beerleg doesn't.

Also, Google will not find non-surveying related posts. You would need to use the built-in search for that.
