    I promise I have looked for over 30 minutes for some search option here and have failed to locate it.
    Maybe it is right in front of me?
    Can someone advise?
    Just didnt want to start a new topic unnecessarily.

    The search here is not great. Better to use google like "priuschat head gasket gen3".

    Doh.

    Agree, Priuschat search is about on par with Toyota USA parts site’s search: more hindrance than help. Google search.

    I've had multiple experiences where Google's index was incomplete, and I was trying to find an older post I knew I had made (and had even been able to find with past Google searches) and had Google insist there were no results, and I had to fall back on the forum search. It's a bit clunky but does (at the moment) seem to work.

    If I remember right, there may have been a time when something was wrong with the forum search and it wasn't finding things, but that seems maybe fixed as of now. That might have been the reason I started using mostly Google back when.

    I find depending on browser / device / which way I'm holding my phone, etc., sometimes there is no visible UI element to get to the forum search. I've lately decided it's easier just to remember it's priuschat.com/search and pick that from my browse history.

    Good to know. Tried Priuschat search now and yes, it seems much improved.
