Educate me- THP Search

[#troy]

I randomly run in to issues searching for a 3 letter word, the dreaded ‘ No results found’.

Whether it be Lab Golf, LA Golf, Sik, how do you get around it?


Just an early morning ponder thread.

I usually search for a product that has a longer name. Or technology.

If you search "descending" you'll probably get most all the sik threads for example.

For those kinds of ones, I try the Google search for THP specifically.

Never thought about going this route.

I always wonder when using the THP search function if order of the words matters, etc.

That’s a solid tip!

I can’t search and find Off Course by @Canadan

3 letter words wreak havoc on this type of software. We recommend using Google and highlight THP.
For others, title search works really well.

This is the way for very refined searches. How do you think I dig up 10 year old threads!

You can search for Threads started by a user as well.

Use title search exclusively, great feature.

Will be implementing the google search for the random short word hunts in future.

Thanks for suggestions!

I now mainly use Google and add THP in the search bar.

that's pretty much what i've resorted to as well

 

[Jman]

For searches like that, use google or another engine to search thp. That’s what I do.

Good tip.
I've had a hard time searching for specific subjects and couldn't find them.

I do it slightly different, I use the site: command followed by the search terms like this:

Google search with the hackers paradise is much more user friendly experience.

100% on the Google search recommendations,

Sometimes strings longer than the dreaded 3 letter have issues for me, but the google search typically returns exactly what I am looking for on the first attempt.
