Blockland Forum Search Guide

[Lørd Tøny]

You can access the search feature by clicking the big blue button.


It is always generally a good idea to use the search feature first before requesting someone to find something for you.
Don't be that fool that always asks for something even though they could had easily searched for it.


How searching works:

• Always be exactly clear on what you are looking for.
• Always search about 1-4 common words.
• Narrow your searches down by clicking the arrow next to "Choose a board to search in, or search all" this allows you to select the boards you wish to search in.
• You can select the order of topics you wish to view first by popularity or date if you select 'Search order'.
• If you can't find something you are looking for keep trying until you are certain that you can't find it.
• Search in topic subjects only.

Another helpful thing is to "Search in topic subjects only"

Although lacking a little, I haven't had a problem with it.

Yes, do sticky this. This'll help get rid of the countless requests because they can't simply search something.

I have to agree with Colten on that the search function here is crap.
However, it should be noted that the blockland forums seems to be running on a version of SMF which is about two years old, so just an update might do wonders.

Not a bad idea to update, but last time the website updated there was a nice amount of panic and we all got a lovely little Spell Checker, which I would imagine most people don't use.

That's why I made it.

This is a good guide, nice work, Tony.

Although I still think the feature I suggested should be added.

There is no point in sticking this.
The same people who don't search for stuff they want are the same people who don't bother reading stickies.
