Search isn't helping me find the right thread

Hello,

I would like some information regarding saddles, and saddle pain - and suggestions for a new saddle for my road bike. I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseum on here, and I wanted to find a thread related to my issue. I've tried several search parameters with no luck....which isn't too surprising, the software this forum users has never bee great on Search.

Plus, I am unsure if this is a Fit section post, Road Bike section post, etc. Could someone provide me with a link to a thread that covers this, or at least suggest what forum section to post under? Many thanks.

I use Google to search the forums. Type "bikeforums.net: search terms" into your browser.

This brought up a whole bunch of old saddle discussions.

As far as I know the search function isn't too keen on picking up keywords within a post. However, it can be very useful for looking up thread names.

Search should pick up both. Try an advanced search and be sure your keywords are at least 3-4 characters long.
