Tip for searching in the forums

Post by Rivermonster »

I have a search tip...

It's difficult to search for particular practice paper questions on the forum because you just get shown a message such as this:
"The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common: section question s1 q1.
Each word must consist of at least 3 characters..."

However, there is a way around this. You can instead use Google Advanced Search:

http://www.google.com/advanced_search" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

...and in the box that says "Site or domain" enter the top level forums url:

http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/forum/11plus/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Or if you want to search inside a particular forum first open the main page in that forum and use the URL shown in the address bar. E.g this forum (General 11 Plus Topics) has the url "http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/forum/ ... um.php?f=5"

Hope this helps!
