Better searching through electricians forum posts

[Mega Greg]

I've found that I get far more focussed results in searches through electricians forum posts by just using Google (other search engines are available) and inputting:
site:http://www.electriciansforums.net/ (+ search terms)

Sorry if I'm covering basics here on:

If you use bookmarks (as in firefox) or favorites (as in explorer) then you might just save the search engine page to save typing site:http://www.electriciansforums.net/ each time.

searches for phrases go in exclamation marks: "search term"
and more than one search term can be searched for at one time with AND and OR functions:
site:http://www.electriciansforums.net/ "consumer unit" AND best
site:http://www.electriciansforums.net/ "equipotential bonding" OR "protective bonding" OR "main bonding"

Perhaps I'm missing something but this is the best way I've found of accessing the great stuff on this forum

Yes I agree, I find that a better way than the search box on the forum too.

its the same with a number of forums i am on, you would think it should be better from within the forum but that is just not the case

Thanks guys for the confimation.
I sometimes also search:
site:Talkelectricianforum.co.uk | Talk Electrician Forum | Electrical Talk | Electrician Advice Forum
and (despite their contribution of the user unfriendly colour changing book and "historically" in oft minor and sometimes barely consequential changes in its content)
site:IET Forums
any thoughts on other good sources of info and which are best?
