Can someone PLEASE give me some tips on searching.

I know there are tons of threads on bake sales (just one of many things I'm looking for). I put in "bake, sale" and get nothing related to bake sales.

What am I doing wrong?

Cyn, I put in bake sale without the commas and got several. Here'

one. Try putting in just bake sale.

I input "about bake sales" on Google and got this:

Cyn, Here's a link to the thread you started last year

Thanks for the links but do I just leave out the commas?

 

[barb_b]

yup... Coma's work well when you are looking for the words, but do not need to be next to each

other. ie; bake sale would come up different from bake, sale. (The later would look for anything that has both bake and sale in the thread vs. the first would only find bake sale together in the post)

Hope I explained it properly....

Best.
Barb

I don't think "comas" would work well, but commas would. smileys/smile.gif

LOL! : )

Cyn, you can add "site:eat.at" after "bake sale" in a Google search to search just these boards.

That's a great tip, search engines have come along way since I started using MSN 15 or so yrs. ago.
