Searching through the BassesByLeo forum
Posted: Wed Aug 02, 2017 1:18 pmIt really grinds my gears that so many forums seem to have a mantra of "search before you ask". Thankfully, that doesn't happen here. If someone asks a question, they deserve a proper answer. That answer may have search results, but it's still a helluva lot better than "Search first then ask". Thank you to everyone for helping to keep a human (and humane) vibe going on here.
Having said all that, I understand that a lot of folks still like to search anyway. phpBB forums, of which BassesByLeo is one, have a search function built in, but its level of usefulness is right up there with mammary glands on a boar hog. If the search criteria is VERY simple, you MAY find what you're after. But don't count on it. Use Google instead.
When doing a Google search, you can specify the website name you want it to search. For example:
To search for Kiloton, your search entry would look like this: kiloton site:www.bassesbyleo.com/forum. This specifies what you're searching for (kiloton) and where to search (site:www.bassesbyleo.com/forum).
Looking for a wiring diagram for an L-2000? Try this: l-2000 wiring diagram site:www.bassesbyleo.com. Where the first search only looked in the forum, the second search looks in the main BassesByLeo page as well as the forum.
And just because we can: kittens site:imgur.com.
Hope this helps you find things.
