Borntoolate Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Was looking through some old posts where some folks had gotten tired of answering questions that have already been answered in other posts. Sometimes people don't even search. Maybe they just try a little and give up. Then they just ask a question that has already been asked. I have often tried to find older info using the IFI search function and simply got frustrated. I find the better way to search IFI is not through the IFI search function. Personally I use Google. Search for - "Iforgeiron Collars" or "Iforgeiron scrolls and collars" for example. This last one was started in 2009. I had seen it before but could not find it on the site. Google spotted it right out. BAM! I mention these because I know they work and have had to come back to them a few times. I was frustrated with not finding them within the IFI search function. You very quickly can find what you need witrh google. Or, you get close and find a link to a better post within the posts you find. My intent is not to complain about the search function on IFI but rather to provide a better way for everyone to find what they need on the site. INcluding the new folks as well as the older folks.

Frosty Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The only thing I've found to really help searching anywhere on the web is to have the best terminology you can. I have lots of gripes about search engines and the worst haven't gone away, heck hardly any have. I mean seriously I don't know of any search engine that uses catagories! Talk about Romper Room basic! Oh well, what can you expect from ITs. No offense Andrew you have enough on your plate with this rowdy crowd without worrying about writing a new generation search engine. My only (probably) useful suggestion without a bunch of new code is getting the terms right. In a practical sense this may be as simple as a site dictionary. A place someone could go, do a short search for some maybe basic misused terms, say "tempered." Most everybody not involved with working tool steel misuses tempered. They could find a basic definition and a list of close alternate terms with basic definitions to help them find what they're looking for. Basically I'm thinking entering "tempering, or hardening, or annealing, or normalizing, etc." would take you to a page with all the heat treat terms listed. A category to look through/ search. I think Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. work so well is partly because they must have dozens or maybe hundreds of guys working nonstop to refine them. IFI only has a couple overworked metal heads making this circus run and I can't complain, it's here and working. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_m Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 You can also use google to search a specific site for your search terms. Type whatever you're looking for, followed by "site:iforgeiron.com". But without the quotes. That will only return results from this site. An example would be: Scrolls collars site:iforgeiron.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2519 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 You could do what I did. Read every topic on IFI. It only took me six months and then all I had to do was read the new content as it comes up. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a62rambler Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 When searching put what you are searching for inside quotation marks. If you search for hot iron you will get no matches and an error message about having too few letters. If you search for "hot iron" you will get answers. Maybe everybody else knew this but it took me months to learn. Of course it has also taken me longer than six months and I haven't read every post yet so maybe I'm just slow. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rthibeau Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 the best way to search IForgeIron is with a very large packed lunch and no known future commitments. Oh, bring a flashlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
