Thread search strategy In the past we used to have options on the search window to search MHF, Mathworld or Wikipedia, which we no longer have. Now I never had much success searching for threads on MHF that I knew existed using the MHF option, so there is no great loss in it no longer being available. But I still have a requirement to search for threads that I know exist. The strategy that I have developed to do this is to use Google with a string such as "mathhelpforum captainblack ketword1 keyword1 ..." Now as the search engines are cataloguing what is posted here every 10 days or so this should turn up the thread/s of interest if they are old enough. Experiment shows that this strategy works rather well (at least for me). RonL
