Re^2: Adding googleon/googleoff to portions of the right sidebar?

...the local search is far superior.

Agreed. But I often find myself searching the wider net, and getting hits on pages that should really match my search terms. So if a user is named tie, I don't really want PM pages to bubble up just because I searched for "perl tie-dye pattern creation", when those pages only mention tie the user. There are probably other text areas on various pages that don't need indexing either.

when those pages only mention tie the user Be aware, you can exclude a specific user's posts from search, too. So, in that case, had the page only shown because tie made a comment, it would be excluded from the local search. The OP's suggestion is not a bad one, helping Google better find results here would be even better. Just don't forget PM's own awesome Super Search.	[reply]

Be aware, you can exclude a specific user's posts from search, too. Yes, the local search options are in many ways more finely tuned. My point was, if I want to include the wider net in my search, I frequently have to do two searches. -QM -- Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of	[reply]
