As most of us know, the forum's search engine can perform only basic searches, which isn't very useful when trying to find specific infomation in a multi-page thread, such as the "Finescale Modeling General Discussion" thread (89 pages now) or the "Railroad Camp Construction" thread (62 pages). The best it can do is identify the topic, but not give you the actual page number.
Today Rick posted an excellent tip for using Google to ID the specific topic and page #. It's simple, and it's a whole lot faster than using the forum's search engine.
...try using Google instead of the forums search feature. Click on the advanced search link and you can enter the forums url in the text box next to domain.id="blue">
I tried it twice using specific keywords and the forum's URL (www.railroad-line.com) and it gave me the exact answer in only a few seconds both times.
Thanks, Rick! That's one of the best tips we've had in a long time! :up: :up:
