SEARCHING; Ways to search the forum for problems/solutions

[ras]

........ Is this the sort of solution you were looking for?

Absolutely, Puppyt and rufwoof.
I will have to try some of those methods out, and will follow up with another post later.

mikeslr,
thanks for going "above and beyond" in your response and providing some history in addition to the search engine tips. I often give more attention to your replies when I run across them in research, as you seem to take much care in composition and content.

Flash,
I'm going to try the all on one page &ppage=1959 trick on the easyos topic. Hope I don't get banned for server abuse before I can come back and post from my new puppy :)

appending "&ppage=xxx" to the url works well to retrieve a page with all the posts on one page, where xxx is or exceeds the total number of posts, and provided the append is placed at the end of the unmodified url of the opening page. The opening page is the page first retrieved when a link in the forum index or sub index is clicked.
example:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=109958
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... ppage=1900

I use google to search the forum. Just append site:murga-linux.com to the search criteria

That seems to work well when doing a general search of the whole forum.but it is about as far as you can drill down into one of those long multipage threads with google, When using a search term like:

container site:http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=109958

google is not all that productive, whereas the same string used as a search term in duckduckgo, returns quite a few pages within that thread

I use google to search the forum. Just append site:murga-linux.com to the search criteria i.e.

searched for text site:murga-linux.com

That's exactly what I used to do but instead of Google, my choice is DuckDuckGo. Eventually I just got tired of typing site:murga-linux.com everytime I want to search. So I've been using a silly little search page I made years ago for my personal use. Not the greatest design, though.

To help out and offer another murga forum search tool here is a link -> http://rockedge.org/psearch/

this is a custom Google search similar to the link http://wellminded.net63.net/

Also an option to download and install the psearch as a PET, which installs the small components in /root/Web-Server.

Nice one d4rkn1ght! You just got a new customer. I like DuckDuckGo and I like your simple design with a restful colours. Well done!

Thanks! I made the site just for personal use and out of necessity, because I'm not a Google fan. I'm glad you like it.

I've pieced a multisearcher togethere here https://i5p06unkup5dlu22npuu.fair.sandcats.io/. Try it out!

It searches 5 different Puppy sites and fora from one search field:

*http://puppylinux.rockedge.org
*http://puppylinux.info/
*http://puppylinux.us/psearch.html
*http://klu9.50webs.com/puppystuff.html
*https://searx.info/?q=site%3Awww.murga-linux.com
