Search engine?
Is it possible to have a search engine on your web site to sort through the enormous amount of information on your site?

Ummm, yeah, there is one...
Top of all the new style pages - Search!
Also the main search page with lots of options is at http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/search.shtml
We realise it isn't perfect, it has some flaws, usually returning too many hits! You have to be very specific - just searching on India will get you dozens of hits, because India is on many pages.
The search engine does NOT search the Bulletin Board, but it has it's own search feature, just above the posts is a small "search".
Hope that helps!

Just an update: We have recently moved to a new search engine, which has greatly improved the Search facility on the site. It's considerably smarter and faster, and is available on most every page.
You can search the HUBB only, the website only, or both, and specify any or all words in your search criteria. Try it before you ask a question that's already been answered!
I should also mention you can still search the Bulletin Board only (small search link under Post New Topic). This search is slower but has more search options, and is always up to date.

Good luck and safe travels!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
