I am not seeing something:
How do you guys search in the white papers section only?
Do I gotta do it with google?
By entering
my search term site:http://www.chiefdelphi.com
For now, thats about all you can do. Eventually (when I fix some things in the White Papers) you will be able to search the descriptions. Searching the papers themselves won’t come any time soon, unfortunately.
You could probably trick google into searching the content of the white papers. Create a subdomain, ie whitepapers.chiefdelphi.com that duplicates the content of the white papers section. Then, the search function could do a google search for “x site:whitepapers.chiefdelphi.com”. Since google will search the content of the pdfs and word files (and probably some others) it should work.
You might want to specifically say white paper description search in your todo list
