Do you have a paid membership? last thing i knew was that you needed one for the engine to search....

If you do, the it is probably a problem of you choosing not the right keywords... :(

everytime someone asks "where can i find..." "how do i find..."

someone always chimes in with Google.com

seriously..

goto google.. and do a site search..

try this in the google search box..

site:www.deviantart.com "your keywords here"

(you don't have to use quotes, if you do, it will lump the words together)

google is so Amazingly powerfull, if only people knew how to use it..

I'm always using google for everything... but I didn't knew that one...

did you know that google can calculate?

-> a cup in teaspoons or 50 miles in meters or normal calulations or even complex calculations, it's a matter of input :D

but when we are offtopic, why not ask something: does anyone know how to search for files on google?

what type of files are you looking for?

if your looking for images, google's got the glorious image search..

as for other files.. it would be difficult to find stuff.. you could try putting an extention in the search, along with the file name.. like

"My App" "exe" or "rar"

and you might get better results..

if you are looking for a missing DLL or something like that though,

i would reccommend typing the exact name of the file.. like

"happyrun.dll"

i've gotten good results with this..

ya ja450n, i'm experiencing the same thing at my new job. Been here about a month and a half. There was a countless number of problems they had plauging them for months that i was able to fix just by searching google. Made me look like a hero, and them fools, so it worked out well. Just this morning I was messing with a ladies computer and for the life of me it wouldn't connect to the exchange server. Asked my "boss" if he had any ideas, and his big idea was to shut it down for 10 seconds. I searched google for the error message, 5 seconds later I installed NetBEUI and it was up and running. google is your friend was our motto at my old job. And whenever two people were having a debate you'd hear "google it!"

just searching the filename works, yes, but I meant some kind of "ftp search" or something like the files search of alltheweb for example. but doesn't matter anyway, I have kazaa... :naughty:

whats with the having to be a paid member at devient ART to search, ever since that happend i gave up trying to find anything over there. and it says temporarly (last time i tried), how long do they plan on it being like that.

and it is a lot easer to do a search for art work at and art site than a search engine like google.
