Tassie Tex Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'm only new to RM and still learning all the Do's, Don'ts and maybe if's. My question is (and I have searched) that when I use the google search it only shows, maybe 5-8 sites and I'm unable to page down anymore. Is this because they are the only sites relevant to my search?. I only ask as other new members may also be scratching their heads as to why. Cheers, Tex.

Steve-e Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 It maybe there are only 5-8 results for example if I search "Tassie Tex" at the top its will tell me there are :- About 5 results (0.14 seconds) so will all fit on the first page Where as if I search Carlisle it says :- About 5,850 results (0.26 seconds) It will then show me the first 7 if you scroll down to the bottom you will see some numbers 1,2,3 etc.. these are page numbers with the next 7 threads etc.. Hope this makes sense and helps Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tassie Tex Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Ok here's the problem after trying that, I'm unable to scroll to the bottom of the page? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-e Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 It should bring up another box on screen this will have another scroller on the right hand side of the box. This works on a PC/Laptop not sure the correct way on phone/tablet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Tex Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 YAH! I had to adjust the page size on my screen and "yes" page numbers appear. Feel a bit of a dunce, ok for those with poor eye-sight this is where the problem lie's. Thanks again Steve-e, cheers, Tex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthesnail96 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 It's not just you, the search isn't optimised for small screens and on my netbook I can't scroll to the bottom either. I normally use the "normal" google search and start my search with RMWeb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 It's not just you, the search isn't optimised for small screens and on my netbook I can't scroll to the bottom either. I normally use the "normal" google search and start my search with RMWeb. I never use the internal search (it has a history) and always use a n other search engine (I'm not really a fan of google either. but if you enter your search in any search engine adding site:rmweb.co.uk (or site=rmweb.co.uk) the they all should restrict the listing to articles on RMWeb site. The Google bot seems to reside here (being such a popular site) and the search results can be pretty up to date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Tex Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Thanks for all your comments, at the time I felt like a computer illiterate nut! and should leave the forum immediately! (giggle). It just shows we all make humble, stupid maybe mistakes and make ourselves look a little silly trying to work a simple task out, but I guess that's what makes this forum enjoyable, after all we are only "mere mortals". We all live and learn and what we learn today we should teach tomorrow. Tex. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
