Best way to do a search?


Recommended Posts

Everyone has done it, post about something that is already being/has been discussed. Violators incur the wrath of the other members but usually in a humorous way that I don't believe is intended to belittle the offender in any way. Any number of posts will pop up saying "Got Search" or other forms of the same.

I use the search feature but sometimes have far less than acceptable results. What is the best way to do a search here on TGO? Options are "Show Threads" or "Show Posts" and "Advanced Search". What is the best way to search? Single words, phrases?

I would love to hear you guys that are very good at finding older posts tell us an easy way to search out these posts. I've been on here for quite a while and I'm asking for this as much for me as all of the new guys that come here to enjoy the discussions.

Thanks for the help.

I always use advanced search, for just one or two words, and narrow the results to just the forums/subforums what I am looking for is most likely to be in (ie, if I want to buy a Glock 22, I search for "Glock 22" and select the Classifieds forum)

Just used "Glock 22".

Result:

Showed only "Glock" as key word used, with notation:

"The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search: 22"
