Searching DR1 Forums
It depends on what you are looking for.I would really appreciate it if someone would please instruct me on how to effectively use the DR1 search feature.
If you give us an example, we will be glad to assist.
For general surfing, most of us go to "new posts", opening a subsequent window, and choosing, "get all new posts".
This will show you all new posts since your last visit, unless you were logged in less than an hour before, in which case you will see all new posts since 2 visits.
Right above this message there is a blue column starting with "user CP". Follow across to the word "search". Click on. Type into the box a search word you are interested in. You will pull up various treads that contain that word. Your search might not be applicable if the word you used is too generic and you will need to go about it another way.I would really appreciate it if someone would please instruct me on how to effectively use the DR1 search feature.
Thanks Rocky. The new posts I'm OK with. But let's take this example: I posted a question about the bus route from RSJ to Samana. I know that there have been previous posts on this subject. How would I best go about getting to them using the 'Search' feature?

Yes. That's been the problem, 'too generic'. Is there some way to more effectively limit the search to avoid pulling up a long list of threads that are not applicable? Any hints would be most grateful.
Search, Advanced search, Key Words - "bus rio san juan", show results as "posts" and you will find that the search produces only your thread, in relative topic.Thanks Rocky.
