► How to use Honda-Tech Search engine

[Jimmy]

How to search * Always use advanced search * Under search options always sort your search results by relevancy. * 3 letter words will work / 2 letters words you must use quotations around them or you will find 0 results..words commonly used together use quotations around them also. * Always try to narrow results as much as possible. If you know which forum the thread your looking for was posted in.. select that forum only * When searching try to be specific.. phrases typed differently may pull different results * If you have an idea of when the thread that you may be searching for was posted, limit the date range using the option available. There is a huge database here and a lot of information and threads that have already been covered.. To help cut down on repeated topics always check the [faq] threads stickied at the top of the forums and then try searching before creating a new topic. If you have a particular issue with the search engine or results.. Feel free to contact me and I can forward it to Internet brands.

I think you've noted the most important thing that people don't do (that the site used to do automatically), and that's to sort the results by relevancy and not the default, "Last Posting Date" which is utterly ridiculous and will return the same thread over and over again.

There is another way that you can quickly and effectively search HT and find very specific results and that's with google. If you wanted to search for VX rear diffuser part number, you can type exactly this in google:

vx rear diffuser site:honda-tech.com

The key is obviously in red and can be used for any site. It just happens to be very useful when searching this site when you want to search very specific terms. If you wanted to find something where someone had typed exactly VX rear diffuser, you can put some quotes around the term when searching;

"vx rear diffuser" site:honda-tech.com

Google will only return results that contain exactly that phrase. These techniques in conjunction with Jimmy's for this site can make it incredibly easy to find what you're looking for. This will help you get your answers quickly and save face by not having 15 people jump down your throat for not searching for something that comes up often.
