Hamster exhaustion?
Ah, thanks. I might have found those threads with a search, but…
Do a Google search:
<your keywords here> site:straightdope.com
I swap it around, and start with the “site:boards.straightdope.com” bit. The SDMB is the only site I search like that, so it auto-completes that text. Saves me some keystrokes.
So they are more than 2 minutes apart.
Thanks for the tips!
The top “sticky” thread in ATMB is entitled “FAQs - Please Read First - Rules, Guidelines, Etiquette, Technical Issues.” When you click on it, it will show you a list of FAQ pages. The “Technical Issues” page includes “HOWTO: Search the SDMB using Google.” It’s a great guide written by alterego that explains how to use the free bandwidth–and highly sophisticated search algorithms–at Google instead of wearing out the poor little hamsters at SDMB.
