How to use the search facility & find your content.

TFF Help · Aug 29, 2016

There are several threads on how to use the excellent search facility here. But though a step by step guide as a sticky may prove useful.

2 ways to search highlighted click either.

If you click the one on the top tab it looks like this, again click where highlighted.

the one on the far right looks like this, simply type in your search word.

Type in search word, where highlighted, this is for the facility on the top tabs.

like this.

Lots of results in seconds! which may then be further filtered, with the relevance tab.

One thing i find frustrating with this site is how hard it can be to find threads that i have previously posted in. The hilux site that i am involved with has a very useful little tab to click on "view your posts" . This gives you a list of all topics that you have replied too. It makes it so much easier to see if someone has replied to a topic, or to go back to ,to post an update or the like.....Just a thought for the staff here.

There is a 'your content' clicky under your username at the top. I'm guessing it doesn't go back far enough though.

Click your user name

Click 'Your Profile Page'

then 'postings' tab

then select either all content or threads.

Use bookmarks / notify -that’s the only way I can keep tabs on threads I’m involved in - it works very much like what you describe in the hilux site

Hmmm Thanks. That seems to work, but its not easy to find. Any chance a sticky of "your posts" could be added to the second line at the top of the page?

It is a 'sticky' I have just edited the title to more reflect content now.

How do I search for a thread where someone was asking about dealers for used CHPs a month or so ago. If I put in "used CHP" it complains that the words are too short or too common. @Chris F ?

sadly this is a limitation of the forums search system - has to be more than 3 words

have you tried the forum google search ?

Clive · Feb 3, 2021

Search

this was top result of the forum google custom search on "used CHP's"

Bearly used 50kw CHP Engines

Does anyone know of anyone who buys second hand CHP Engines? We have 2 x 50kw engines which have got around 1,500 hours on each and were part of a failed Anaerobic Digester. Purchased from Mayphil in Wales. Both have FIT on but no RHI. TIA
