i saw a post a few days ago which someone showed how to search this forum using Google.
Does anyone know how to do this or know which post it was in?
thanks
In the google box include site:sitename so......
SEARCHTERM site:community.logos.com
Thanks, that worked !
For the sake of other readers and those who are less familiar with how to use the advanced searching features of Google, I am adding a bit more detail:
1. Using Site: As Thomas indicated, this tells Google that your search is limited to the pages on that site. So, to search the Logos Forums, type your search terms followed by site:community.logos.com.
2. Using search operators: for instance, I searched google today as follows: collections +syntax +rule site:community.logos.com. This produced just a handful of hits (posts that have all three words). The "+" operator is the same as AND and the "-" operator is the same as NOT.
3. Using the Show options functionality: Once you have results, there will be above the first hit a "show options" link that allows you to reveal or show options. The most useful options are the ability to limit your search to a date range (for instance, Logos 4 discussions really only picked up in the last 2 weeks of October) and visited pages if you want to find that post you read and can't remember where it was.
Blessings,
Francis
Risk of a shameless plug here. But relevant I think......
I created a pluggin for firefox that will go in your search menu to search the forums or the wiki.

how to search this forum using Google
One quick option is to install the freebie Google toolbar. One button is for searching the current site. You might have to go into the settings to make the button display.
Ken,
Another great tip!
Thanks Ken, I have google toolbar, but never realized that it had this button in hiding![Y]
I don't use Firefox so this works great for me.
