    Suffix a google search with the phrase within these brackets << site:hotukdeals.com >> then you can add all the usual boolean operators such as << - >> to exclude certain words, use inverted commas for unique phrases, etc.

    Thanks, I do this occasionally, but to be honest its hard work bearing in mind the advanced search function worked on this site before it was butchered a couple of years back. You wouldn't even find this thread by searching normally on desktop.

    Thanks - right I can see that now.

    Next one - it is possibly to search date range, deal per retailer, by keyword rather than using google.

    Ie Resident Evil @~ Amazon last year?

    Sometimes you can't search forums unless you are logged in with an account.. The search function just isn't there. So are you logged in on both pc and phone.. (edited)
