SEARCHING; Ways to search the forum for problems/solutions

#62 Post by oui »

hi

example of very effective search using google:

site:murga-linux.com/puppy quirky 1.2 kde 4 video kdenlive

if you already did see one adequate discussion and know an author or you search one of your discussions you can add the option Author:

for example (I am interesting to see if it works :wink: )

site:murga-linux.com/puppy Author:oui "SEARCHING; Ways to search the forum for problems/solutions"

good searching!

salut

PS I did not found immediately the second! perhaps it is to new and I have to wait sometime

Yes! It was the matter, it works now!

But please don't tip only 'ENTER' but press on the 'Search' button!

For the serious - Threadget, by forum user 'seaside'

Downloads phpBB forum threads

.pet available, 1st page

see p2 for updated version

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=62236

Gives you a single searchable html file of any phpBB site like http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/

Use any editor on the HTML file to find relevant information

seaside suggested Bluefish as an editor, .pet here

Thanks for the suggestions Oui!

It is always good to know the tricks for making a
search more effective and efficient.

This method works through the Scroogle Scraper
as well.

Nice example of LetMeGoogleThatForYou
Make your own link

http://lmgtfy.com/

Add your search term, then copy the address in the link box, to post your link

wellminded lost?

Hi all,

I can't use the WellMinded search anymore - nothing is working. Is it just me or is there has it disappeared?

If you mean the wellminded search page linked to in this post, it works fine for me.

Yeah, that's the one. At least I know the problem is at my end. Norton must have blocked it. Don't know why though.

Thanks Flash.

Are you fed up with google instant?

see here for a fix by monsie - thanks

Also, another way of getting away from google search, is to use a different search engine, there are many that do not scrape your data/invade your privacy/log your search habits

http://www.thesearchenginelist.com/

There may well be others not included!

10 Google search secrets
Everyone knows how to pop a search term into Google and hit the search button, but very few realize the true power of Google. In this short-but-revealing gallery, I uncover 10 little-known facets of Google that are guaranteed to make even the most astute searcher a better searcher. A few of the topics I will be covering are how to search FTPs with Google; how to block sites from your search results; and how to search Google Docs. If you're an advanced Google search novice, that's okay! Just be sure to read the recommended articles beneath each description in this gallery and they'll turn you into a pro in no time. And now, without any further ado, here are 10 Google search secrets.

Looks like wellminded.com no longer exists. That would eliminate search option #2.

New wellminded Puppy Linux Search Engine

#78 Post by tuxtoo »

As wellminded.com is no more I have created another one based on the original. The only difference being that the app search covers more Puppy sites than the original.

Why not bookmark http://wellminded.net63.net/ as your new Puppy Linux search engine.

The only difference being that the app search covers more Puppy sites than the original.

[Update, Aug 2019]

After a somewhat lengthy hiatus from Puppy Linux I have updated the Puppy Linux Search and it includes the following websites in the search:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/
http://wikka.puppylinux.com/
https://412collection.neocities.org/
http://412collection.indogo.org (for older browsers)
http://dokupuppylinux.info
http://dotpups.de
http://smokey01.com/
http://puppylinux.com/

I like to wget the whole forum and grep it. LOL - Not really but I would have a better chance of finding things that way!

I think you can actually use Google and use puppy linux in the search box with anything else your searching for, like: Puppy Linux Wi-Fi
