How do you find posts?

[Bengt S]

If you want to find a specific post, is there any easy way to find it? Let me give an example. Say that you are at Home and put "Winpatrol remarkable" in the search box. Then you get:

How do you easily find this particular post (that is, without sucessively checking every post until you find the one you want to read)?

You have just discovered a problem we are painfully aware of. In fact we are currently working on a solution, a specialized search wizard that will help visitors quickly find what they need even if they don't know exactly what they are looking for.

I see - it will be very nice when you have implemented a solution, it will certainly add to the usefulness of this extremely valuable site!

It shows the search results but only points to the article rather than to the post. It would have been better if it links to the post where the search results come from.

Another way is to click through the pages and on each page press Ctrl-F to search the key words from the page, but this article has 40 pages of comments.

Is there any way that we can list all comments (not limited to 50 posts) in one page, so that we can search a particular post by pressing Ctrl-F and enter the key word at one go.

I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood what Bengt meant by "posts" Are we talking about a post as in the actual article or the comments after an article?

[Bengt S]

I am sorry for not being quite clear in my question above, I meant that I wanted to find the full text (that is, the missing parts in ... included), be it in the actual article or in a comment after the article. (Of course it would be quite easy to look through the article, but if there are lots of comments, these will be hard to scan manually with your eyes.) Rihto, would that change your answer?

Well I was thinking about the articles themselves. We are working on better way to find articles themelves using a secialized tag system. But the site users comments are a different story.

It is possible to use Google to search a website, and you get back more familiar results. Plus you can get back very specific results. For example when I used this search string including the quotes,

"winpatrol remarkable" site:www.techsupportalert.com

I found your original post in this thread. If I do it without the quotes I find more content.
