Easy way to do LHCF topic/thread searches

[ajoyfuljoy]

I know a lot of ladies complain of search function issues. Here is a way that I search for hair topics or other topics on this forum with success:

go to google and click on advanced search

For the line that says "all these words:" type in what you want to search

For the line that says "Search within a site or domain:" type in LHCF's web address


then click the button that says "advanced search" and viola! you will have a detailed search of only our site!

Hope that helps some of yall...

Lol, I do this too. As a matter of fact, that's how I stumbled across LHCF I simplify it by just using the general search, and typing the subject and LHCF though. For example: "great moisturizer longhaircareforum" and voila!

pressing enter works better than clicking "go" for me

Thank you sooo much. I was really starting to get frustrated.

you all are very welcome Today I found this thread from 2003, I love doing specialized google searches. It makes hair research easy.

Google is an amazing search engine and especially easy for searching LHCF.

here's an example of what I do

site:longhaircareforum.com best conditioner

if you absolutely need a phrase, you should put it in quotation marks
Lets say you are looking specifically for aphogee 2 min, instead of other aphogee products.

site:longhaircareforum.com "aphogee 2 min" (this will make sure that the entire phrase must be found as is.


However, it only works on older posts (maybe a week or two) because the spiders need to get a chance to catch the information.

Happy searching!!!
