General Error leading to failed Google search

Hi Baldrick,

I did a search (https://forum.videohelp.com/search.php#search) for "focus pull" and got this:



...so I clicked on the Google search link and got this:

removing the quote marks makes it works i notice .... oddly enough

removing the quote marks makes it works i notice

I tried that first - but that returns threads with the words "focus" or "pull". I then tried using the AND operand, and that returns threads with both words in, but the words aren't neccessarily connected, as in "focus pull" together.

I'm looking for info on focus pulling - and threads that have the words focus and / or pull in are commonplace.

Hence why I tried the quotes and got the error and the (seemingly) erroneous parameters passed to Google.

what about using + ?


tried it -- words not connected (same as a space)


tried advanced search - http://www.google.com/search?as_q=&hl=en&domains=videohelp.com&sitesearch=videohelp.co...ghts=&safe=off

no threads --

i also checked archives - nothing http://www.google.com/custom?as_epq=forum%2Barchive&q=focus+pull&sa=Search&domains=vid...ORID%3A1&hl=en

Thanks for that. New thread it is then...

And I'll leave Baldrick to decide if my original post is anything he's concerned about.

Cheers BJ_M

I tried it and dont get the general error, Baldrick may have those types of searches disabled for times during the day when there is a lot of traffic.

As far as Google goes the site search is not 100%, depends on whether the page is indexed or not.
