-- The Idiot's Guide To Using the Search Button -- Screenshots included

This is long over due.

Now you can't use the excuse "I tried searching but only got posts from 2005" because you were too stupid to change a couple settings in the search window. Take a minute to look at this guide. Save yourself time by answering your own questions before posting the same stupid "What is the best ________" thread for the millionth time.

Use this guide.

Learn this guide.

Wondering what the best pre workout is? Search for it.
Wondering what the best test booster is? Search for it.
Wondering what the best fat burner is? Search for it.
You are not the 1st person, or the 100th to ask these redundant questions.

Every question you have has probably been asked dozens, if not hundreds of times before. If you don't get your question answered by searching TITLES ONLY, search "Enitre Posts" in step #4.






From the main forum screen:







This will launch the screen below.








Following these steps will yield you search results like this:

The sad thing is that people will read this and still probably ask the same questions over and over anyways because they feel 'their' question is more specific and difference/special.

You are a gentleman and a scholar. On spread.

I'm 18 years, 2 months, and 5 seconds old. I weigh 156.78 pounds. Should I take Allmax, or ON Creatine? If I was 160lbs, I would obviously use Green Mag.

LMAO, they should sticky this thread but people still won't read it even if stickied. Good job and reps!

Valiant effort. Those who don't search before making useless threads are unlikely to follow directions. Regardless, expect this to be the most linked thread on the forum.

If just one person learns from this, I'd say it's worth it. And this is probably the best one I've seen. Give that noob a picture. Newbies love pictures.

Doesn't matter, as long as the roll is underhand.

This! X2

You should add that you can save your changes to be defautl so you won't have to set everything everytime you try a search

Edit : Forget it... just saw it was already done

Lol, nice one sloop.

[Shermanatorx]

I tried searching for this thread, but couldn't find it.

[fitmom43]

Done! Excellent thread.

But guys don't get to upset when you see the same question over and over. You know that what a new person does is create an account and make a post without ever looking at any of the stickies. I can't tell you how many threads I delete on discussions on PH and PGL made a stickie about it being against forums rules to do that. Plus you have members that have been here awhile and post responses

[Hyruliangoat]

Hi whats the best fat burner?

[Ramrod2615]
