Searching the forums and TDN

Hey all,

I've seen quite a few posts about how hard it is to search the forums and tdn etc..

Just wanted to pass along a search tip, that I find useful..

It's no end-all-be-all, but it does help narrow searches.

when you want to search forum specific searches do:

and "mg/forums"

Basically, since each page url is indexed in the search engine with its content, you can use the inherent nature of the google search to isolate the searches.. may not be perfect but... it helps.

Also, when searching for wiki (tdn) pages add "wiki/TGB"

For example on a recent search:

non-convex collision polygon "mg/forums"

Helped me search to see if anyone had already posted something about it.

Hope it helps, enjoy!

Those are very good tips for TDN, but keep in mind for searching only forums you can always just select "forums" from the dropdown next to the search box and you will then search only forums ;)

Well yes, the problem is you cant search in a specific forum.
