pws1225 -> Quick Question on Using Google to Search the Forum (1/12/2017 4:22:35 PM)

Please excuse my forgetfulness but I can not remember the appropriate syntax to use Google to search the Forums. If anyone can help with that syntax, I would appreciate it.

Many thanks, Paul

As I recall it, to search a specific site using Google, start with site:sitename and put a space before your search term. For example:

site:matrixgames.com "War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition" pws1225
(Notes: the site as mentioned above, the quotation marks enclose something to find literally, search terms that can be mixed and matched appear without quotation marks - only one word in this case, your user name.)

And I got this page:
https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#safe=off&q=site:matrixgames.com+%22War+in+the+Pacific:+Admiral%27s+Edition%22+pws1225

Note that Google's searches are in context of your prior searches and other information Google knows about you, so broader searches might yield different results for different people.
