Hostgator needs a search function on the site.

[Wayne Sallee]

There is a search function in the forum, but Hostgator does not have a search function for the web site.

If I want to search hostgator, I have to go to google to do that, and then it pulls up a bunch of junk. Hostgaor should have a search engine on it's website.

There is, however, a search function for Hostgator's support portal which admittedly isn't the same as a site-wide search, but in some ways, is better for finding specific answers. In any case, you can use Google's advanced search to produce results for all of hostgator.com or any other specified domain.

Obviously you have not tried the google advanced search of hostgator.com.
It will pull up other people's web sites that are hosted on hostgator.

I didn't find that to be the case when I did an Advanced Search and included 'hostgator.com' in the Site field for the search. You can also search using 'searchterm site:hostgator.com' to specify to search within the hostgator domain.

Hmmm. I guess what's "obvious" varies amongst users. In fact, I have used it on many occasions (not just for this domain) and it seems to work fine for me.

You right, it always.... Me too have seen it many times.

Just specify "site:www.hostgator.com" and you won't get any other subdomains.

BTW, that little green smiley has always been my favorite choice, overall. Whoever designed it should be very mildly internet famous.
