Search Engine Trick and Tips Wanted!

18 Jan 2013

Posted By maceman in Site News & Announcements

I thought it would be nice to have a thread with some search tips...

 

For the life of me, I can hardly use the search accurately. There must be a trick I am missing, so anyone who can put any tips on their searches would be appreciated.

 

Okay, here is an example. Today, I am working on upgrading the cab flyers/instructions...So i am searching out media packs...So how would you search for this?

 

Big Hit (Gottlieb 1977)

 

If I search for "Big" or "Hit" I get nothing!!  I think it may because it is named Big_Hit  but regardless, this should search!!  I found it the long way by navigating, but that is not satisfactory obviously. Sometimes i don't know any other info for the table other than the name, so the name should search imo.

I am having this kind of trouble almost on any search. so there must be a better way??

 

Cheers,

Maceman

Introducing - Pinball Armor

21 May 2013

Posted By Noah Fentz in Site News & Announcements

I just wanted to take a moment and introduce you all to a great, new product. I met these guys at the Chicago Pinball Expo last year, and thought they were really onto something. They are great guys, and I hope you give their product a look.

For anyone who has to move collector-grade machines or wants to ensure their cabinets from harm when moving, Pinball Armor is for you! They are a soft, moving blanket on the inside, and a rugged canvas exterior to protect from bumps, scrapes, and dings in transport!
