The best possible returns on your search will come from using "
Advanced Search"
Click
'search' on the Nav Bar, then click
'advanced search' below the 'quick search' box. This allows you to narrow your search by:
- key words in posts
- key word in thread titles
- username
- thread-starter username
It also allows you to narrow those parameters even further by:
- threads with number of replies - at least/at most
- posts based on timeframe, i.e. a week ago/ a month ago
- sort posts in descending/ascending order based on relevancy, etc
- showing results as threads or as posts
- search ony one specific forum
Experiment if you don't find what you need...
Use more words, less words, different key word(s) and different search parameters.
