Esato sucks when you're trying to get a quick answer. The search function is horrible; you can spend hours trying different combinations of words and still barely get anything relevant. So then you post asking for help and people either skip right over and don't reply or tell you to search.
I've been helped a lot here, but it's the quick answers that i never get help with. Get a new search function. Honestly, it can get exhausting trying to sift thru.
Edit: Added "search" to the title

Dunno about you but I like reading the ancient topics, ahhh - those were the days...
The search is fine. The problem is 2,000,000 + posts all on the same topic - SE phones.

I keep bringing up old topics from the old archieve there unresourceful most of the time cos there that old lol
I wish I could find my very first topic though that would be funny to see now
Posted by masseur
you can choose to sort by date in which case it will bring up the most recent search results first

Why don't you click on your name and go to your posts, then keep going back to the beginning? Lol, might take a few days though...

Thats something I don't change when searching then
Posted by masseur
like I keep saying, use the search properly and it always gives the results... at least it does for me

generally i find the search works very well, although sometimes i'd like to search within the search results.
hey! and how many times i've searched on google and up pop threads from esato! just goes to show how much useful material there is here!
Posted by masseur
indeed... and if you want to use google to search esato, just do a site search
e.g. type into google:
site:www.esato.com unlock k850
Posted by PeterKay
or bookmark topics you like, as far as i know there are no limitations to bookmarks on esato!!

anyone have the favorite podcasts thread bookmarked? Search only finds everything else, including t68i threads.

I've always had problems with the search... and subsequently always feel foolish when someone (usually masseur) says how easy it is.
I am sure it is easy...I am sure its just me being lazy or missing something obvious...still always have problems with it though.

Sometimes your search results dont display any of the contents that you want. Even if you know the authour of that particular thread that contains what you are looking for.
