When the search function is used properly it can be very useful. Here's a quick mini lesson no how to use the search function better.

1) Go to the search tab and then press "Advance search" and this will be the screen that will show up.


2) Now enter the search words you are looking for, I prefer adding 2 to 5 words that are about the topic for example the 53 block.

3) Make sure you change the search from entire post to thread title like here below in the fancy paint edited screen shot. Also change amount of points to at least 5 or 10 or to whatever you feel like for threads with large discussions on the topic.

4) Change the search results for relevancy instead of sort by date.

5) Select the forums to search in, you don't want to search for information about the 53 block in the 6.7 section so this can help you weed that out.



6) take a look at all the results you have, if you don't have anything you are looking for then you have to modify your search a little but you have to wait 30 seconds between searches.

Here's the 44 threads you can look at about the 53 block.

If you still don't get the results you're looking for then try the google search provided in the search function. I personally go to google first and then if I don't have the results I am looking for I try the advance search.
