    Searching 101

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Now it's pretty obvious that many new members wishing to join the Audizine forum/community lack the searching skills. I'm not sure if you don't know how to search or if you're just being a lazy prick, but remember search first.

    Before you post a new thread, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (and for your own sake) check the Audizine B5 A4 Wiki and the B5 A4 Faq's thread.

    Both are linked below:
    1- B5 A4 Wiki
    2- B5 A4 Faq's

    Now that we all know where to find simple answers to our simple questions, if you still have a question that hasn't been answered by either of the two links above follow this tutorial, in this order.


    1. Use the Audizine Search Bar. Located on the top right of the page. Click on "Search Forum"



    2. Now after you click on the "Search Forum" a little drop down box with a search bar will show up.



    3. Finally in the search bar type in your search inquiry.



    4. After typing in your inquiry in the search bar, push the "enter" key on your keyboard.



    So you think you're ready for Searching 102?: Searching all of Audizine

    So 101 regarded searching JUST the B5 forum for an answer to your question, but what happens when you want to search ALL of AZ for an answer? That's simple, too.

    Scroll up to the VERY top of Audizine and at the very top right corner, there will be a search bar with "Google Custom Search" written in the search bar. Leave the drop box on "Search Audizine" and type in your inquiry.Finally push the boxed "GO" to search your question!





    So you think you're ready for Searching 200?: Using Google

    Now if you really want to impress us, try using normal Google to search Audizine. This also helps you when you're searching for any kind of subject matter for an essay etc.

    1. Go to http://www.google.com. The home page will look like this (under normal circumstances, unless google decides to make a weird looking google logo)



    2. Now here's the tricky part, pay close attention. When you're searching on Google, put your search inquiry in QUOTES then put "and" without quotes and Audizine in quotes. For example, my search inquiry will be S4 Front Bumper. If you're searching for a topic regarding an essay you are writing, put your topic in quotes but DO NOT put Audizine in the search bar, as most likely, your essay topic won't be on Audizine



    3. Look at step 2 again and LOOK IT OVER CAREFULLY!

    4. Now push enter on your keyboard again, and there are all your results for the search!

    If you still can't find the answer to your inquiry, THEN you can post a new thread!




    Congrats, you are now certified in HOW TO SEARCH!

    ** Now the most important lesson after all this is, don't forget the golden rule! Treat others the way you wish to be treated. Its the same concept as to earn respect, you must give respect.


    Just incase you want to show the world that you now know how to search, here's a certificate! Print it, and show your mom, and if you're lucky enough she'll put it on the fridge!

    Nice write-up, but the Searching 102 section needs to be edited. You don't even need to leave Audizine and go to Google.com, as there's a Google Custom Search right up there at the top right of Audizine's header.

    Hey Anthony,

    While you're on here, can I ask a favor? Can you go ahead and clean up this thread or delete it or do some magical mod mojo to it.

    Please use the "Report Post" feature so that the Mods of the forum can handle the issues accordingly. I'd hugely appreciate it.

    Excellent write up. I don't know what is wrong with the new generation and expecting everything handed to them. Before I even signed up to this site I would search for anything and everything and once they "AZ" disabled the search function for non members I ended up making an account.

    Yeah, felt it was worthy, but better suited for the Chatterbox Subforum. I sure wish the OP would update the Searching 102 part though. *hint hint*
