I have been trying to search to see if anyone has commented about a movie I saw and the search function comes up either empty or overloaded depending on the options I check and the text I enter. The link below isn't the one I have been looking for, rather it is from the "I think I found a track" thread. I know a link to this movie exists on the forum. Can anybody explain how to find it so I can use the answer as a search template?

What's the odds of that? That would be my thread. I used Google Advanced Site search to search for just the number of the movie. It shows up on this page:

Yes the forum searches Lack lets just say.

Hi Chronocide,

1. Would you say what is the movie number?

2. I went to Google and entered - Stardust@home 6252989V1 - and three posts with that number came up. But you say 6252989V1 is not the one you want, correct?

3. See if Google can help you.

4. Our search does not seem to be able to treat 6252989V1 as a word since there is not a space on either side. Google can.

Did I understand your question?

The easy way is just enter this string into Google replacing this movie with any movie you are looking for. I could make a pluggin for Firefox but getting it approved is the problem. I have not made any in awhile.:
