Interesting. I didn't know we were so much alike. We both use our own methods, make our own path to a satisfactory result and we both like using the...um...back door.snowy ciara said:My one and only official searchy hint. I'm one of the people for whom the search function rarely works correctly. I've had better luck associating a person with a topic and using their profile to search. For example... I want to see threads on electricity, which is one of DVS's things. So I click on a thread he's posted in, click on his name to get his profile, and choose either "find all posts by this user" if I want a generic list or if I want a specific thread that I'm pretty sure he started, I'd pick the other option which shows me all of his threads. This also works with finding a thread where I know who started it but not where it is. (This happens a lot with me.) Like if wanted to find the Apocalyse/Epiphany thread. I can't recall the exact name, and the search function only works about half the time for me. But I know that AA started it. So I skip the search function, click on his name, get his profile and then choose the "show all threads" option. I get better results this way.

) and try to use a little bit of taste if you're, say, describing what you did last night.
