i've found that googling "notebook review forums <keywords> ibm" yields the best results..for example:

notebook review forums msata ibm

gives me the top msata threads in the ibm/lenovo area of the forum :P hope this helps!

detailed search instructions can be found at the end of the sticky found on this board.   you did read the sticky, didn't you?

I moved this from lenovo to the site help forum. Basically use an internet search like this:

site:http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/  keywords go here

You can replace lenovo-ibm with any other forum or subforum. You can put the thread title in quotation marks with your keywords to search a thread.

Here's an example:

site:http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/ "linux on the x220" kernel

https://www.google.com/search?q=site...nt=iceweasel-a

If the thread title is not unique enough, even in quotes, you can use the thread number, which is in the first part of the thread URL after the subforum. For the thread I am searching above, it is 575569:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/575569-linux-x220.html

So you can search by thread number like this:

site:http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/575569 kernel

https://www.google.com/search?q=site...official&noj=1

'Til then, the only option is to use Google to search.

You can't search while using vBulletin Default Style.

If you set the forum skin to vBulletin Default Style you'll simply get redirected to forum.notebookreview.com (main page) after you've pressed google in the search field.
