Post subject: | searching the forums w/ google (advanced search tips) |
First pointed out by cameraready in this thread, it does look like there is a lag, but google seems to be freely crawling the knoppmyth.net forums which means you can take advantage of google's advanced searching features when mining information here. I put this post in the hints & tips section because I feel this is a real KM-specific tip For those who don't know how to restrict a google search to a specific site, the syntax is as follows: Example 1 - Searching within the forums for two terms: Code: search terms site:knoppmyth.net Example 2 - Searching within the forums for an exact phrase: Code: "exact phrase" site:knoppmyth.net
The difference is that wrapping the search terms in double quotes forces google to find exactly what you asked for as a grouping of words in the order you specified. Using no quotes will find both words anywhere on the page most likely appearing separated from each other in difference sentences. Here is the result of example 2 as of 21-Dec: Too lazy to copy/paste? Click this link then replace my search terms with whatever you're looking for search site:knoppmyth.net or search advanced form Enjoy! |

One of the good people on this forum use to have a link in there signature that would automatically populate this extra information so you only needed to do the search, perhaps they could "re-activate" the link. |
