Titles and Mugsi not listed on Google
Has anyone ever noticed that for some reason Titles has not had a direct link form Google search? I search "mcmaster titles" and the actual titles official website is not in the search results; only other related sistes that may or may not link to titles.
I used to always get to mugsi this way....I'd just type "mugsi mcmaster" into Google, and it would be the first link to pop up. Now, however, the direct link to mugsi has been removed the Google search results as well.
For someone who uses Google to get to pretty much all of my frequently visited sites, I find this pretty annoying. Anyone else notice this?

MUGSI still comes up as the first option for me when I search, but the bookstore has never, ever come up when I've looked for it.
And yes, it is super annoying.

FYI - for those who don't know, when you're on MacConnect (or if you've configured your computer to do so from anywhere..) you can just type the subdomain to get to the various pages.
i.e.
mugsi
titles
msu
hospitality
muss
univmail
etc.

I have this really nifty trick I use. Instead of typing www.google.ca in the address bar, and searching "mugsi mcmaster" I just type this in the address bar:
mugsi .mcmaster .ca
Amazingly, it works with Titles too!
 But also, it's coming up for me on google... |

Google gives me a direct link to Mugsi (first result), but it does not give me a link to the Titles Bookstore even if I type in "Titles McMaster". It's always been annoying, as I have to go here http://registrar.mcmaster.ca /CALEN...07/sec_921.htm and then click on http://titles.mcmaster.ca
Then again... it would be easier if I just memorized the titles.mcmaster.ca haha. I have memorized mugsi.mcmaster.ca so it shouldn't be too hard. |

If I just type "titles" and "mugsi" without the quotations into the address bar and hit enter, my browser automatically redirects me to the correct sites automatically, not sure if that will work for everybody though.

I have this other trick.
Instead of typing the URL into the address bar everytime I want to visit a site, the first time I go there I click bookmark this page. Then every other time I want to visit I just click Titles under Bookmarks and voila, I go to the Titles page.
Its like magic.

Oh god, that would never work for me. Lmao.
I should screenshot my browser.
My entire top bar is filled with shit I go to daily and I can't fit another one, haha.
And I've got EASILY over a 1000 bookmarks (I can actually scroll in my Bookmarks section for over 5 minutes) XD
Edit: "mugsi mcmaster" works for me if I type it into google. It doesn't take me to "mugsi.mcmaster.c a" but it takes me to the portal. Same thing, right?

I was gonna go further by saying you could set it as a homepage, but then I realize how much of a tool someone would be by doing that. >_>
