Hi to all,
i want to share my way of searching in TGC forums, hoping this will help someone to discover little hidden treasures in these boards and
not to ask for obvious and multi-poli-answered topics.

1) Use the power of Google search engine;
2) in the search string use the parameter "site:" to restrict searching only in this forums.

Example (1):
I want to search all has been said about Antialas in these forums.
(search string in Google)
-->


Example (2):
I want to know all the threads in which i have posted something (not only the ones i've started).
(search string in Google)
-->


Example (3):
i want to read all the posts in which the command JOIN NET GAME has been discussed.
(search string in Google)
-->

(this is for me particuarly useful because i find tricky using multiple keywords in TGC search box.

Thanks for this. Although I'm not a newbie to the forums, I didn't realize you can indicate a site for the search engine. Something new for me. However, I just use the search option at the bottom. That works for me most of the time; but, there are times when it doesn't work all the time and will try this.
