Searching - How to search a message board

[Guest guest]

Hello all!

 

I'd recently posted a partial post on this, and thought it might be

worthwhile to help all of us become more " self-sufficient " / " self-

sustaining " .

 

I find that there's a lot of good info on the boards, and it's not

always " grouped " just how we'd like it! lol!

 

 

here's a method I've found to be helpful in searching for info on a

topic. (and not " picking " on anyone, and would like to use a couple

of " real " examples, rather than making them up.):

 

1. go to the board that you like, with these being my " base " :

(your home boards could obviously be different)

 

http://health.Rawschool/

http://health.Rawfood/

http://health.Rawsjourney

 

I recommend joining, and bookmarking each of the above..

 

2. Once on the board, let's take RawFood for example, only because

it's been around longer, and has more info on it...I recommend going

back quite a ways...like on that board about 1,500 messages back

(because it's an active board... ) sooo...go back to post 16000, by

entering that message number in the message number " block " and

clicking on the " GO " button located just to the right of the message

number block...and you'll shortly be at message number 16000.

 

3. Now, enter the topic term that you're interested in,

like " garlic " (quotes not needed), into the " search " box, and

then press the " GO " button to the right of the search box...Note that

there are two different insertion boxes, one for going to a

particular message number, and another for entering search terms.

Note that there are *ALSO* two " GO " buttons - one to the right of

each insertion box.

 

Now, if and the internet are both having a good day, you'll

have a lovely listing of messages containing information about what

you've searched on. If either are having a bad day, and like you

don't get anything...just do it again...

 

Once you've clicked on a message, at the bottom of *that* message

will be a listing showing the replies to that message. Easiest way to

navigate from here - just use one of the back buttons, either

's " previous " command, or your browser's " back " command

 

a little more advanced: You can also change your " settings " for how

you'd like to read messages -- by using both the view (3 choices -

simple, summary, expanded) and the As: (msglist, thread). You'll

need to play around with these settings, to actually see what each

one, and various combinations does. For example - if you change

the " As " to " Thread " , then you'll read all the messages that have the

same subject line until that thread is over. I find this very useful

after I've done a search - I get to keep reading the " thread " by just

clicking on next...(it's not a " perfect " system - sometimes subject

lines change, etc..etc.)

 

Hope this helps..

 

all the best,

 

Bob (fellow journeyman)

I am a prickly person by nature, Bob, and I don't much like

the trend I see growing in this forum (towards sycophantism),

but I have to say that this is the best post I have seen in a long time.

 

I think that self-sufficiency/self-reliance/self-teaching is the most important

purpose of this forum.

 

Thanks for bringing this out from the other group.
