I just kind of stumbled upon that... (thanks harpwrench, for the push).
There is actually an advanced search for the forum. Just insert the following text into your normal google search box leave a space and add any search term(s):

Cool! Is there any way that could be embedded into the regular search page?

I don't think so...
The only solution I see is that Adam replaces the internal search box with an external one, and post the above text right beside it...
Seems like tedious bs... let me see, maybe I'll find a better solution.

Even if he just posted the instructions for that trick on under the search box it would be useful.

Ok, the search box above is the best I came up with. All you gotta do, is insert the search term(s) at the end (separated by spaces). What do you think?

GH.....You are like a forum GOD.
In Modern Blues Harp Forum did German Harpist
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round :
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree ;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But oh ! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover !
A savage place ! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover !
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced :
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail :
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean :
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war !
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves ;
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice !
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw :
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight 'twould win me,
That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome ! those caves of ice !
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware ! Beware !
His flashing eyes, his floating hair !
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.

Stickman actually had a lot longer version of that written, but a someone came to the door and interrupted him. By the time he got back to it he'd forgotten the rest.

Ok, back down on earth... :)
Stickman, what is that/where is it from?
What do you guys think of the search function? Is there anything you'd like different? Maybe there's a way of making it more practical (making the text invisible), I'll have to see...
Btw. the time search function isn't the way I envisioned. You can search by 'latest' after clicking on 'show options...', however it only shows the last 10 posts/threads (with a delay of ca. two days).

Its a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I'm sure you have heard it before, it actually begins
"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:"

I've had to read that poem so many times over the years. I think I had to write a few essays about it. Coleridge said he composed it entirely in his head during an opium induced dream, but that he was interrupted before he could write the whole thing down and the rest was lost.

Oh, I like the search function. I'll have to play around with it more to see if I can make any suggestions but it looks good.

Hi, GH
I like the search. It is a little hard to look through the results though and actually find what you might want. It would be great if the titles of the results were the titles of the found posts.
Most (but interestingly, not all) of the results are simply titled "Dirty-South Blues Harp Forum: freewheeling chat about all things ..."
