How do you find what you're looking for on the element14 Community?

cstanton

Once upon a time, using Google was frankly the easiest way to find what you wanted on the Community, but since we changed platforms, I'm wondering how much you may use the search box at the top?

So..

Bonus question, for clicking through to comment:

  • I mainly use the advanced search but often have to tweak the URL query manually to narrow down the results.

    Knowing the serpauthor value for a user here helps enormously, as the drop down combo box allows you only to pick from the top 12 or so users and often the one you want, doesn't appear in the list to pick from, so you have to do it manually in the URL.

    That said, there is some content that is very hard to find even when you know who wrote it and you know that it is definitely in there somewhere. I often encounter this when I want to reference existing related content in a forum comment.
