I use Dial up service (I'm poor, in the army, and can't afford $50 a month the local services want) and I use the search feature all the time, granted it does take awhile, but it always comes up with the post/info I am looking for; BTW I entered "performance exhaust" in the search engine and came up with just about every possible alternative for exhaust on a contour with stats and prices on many of the posts.
