How To Search (some hints and tips )

I am hoping that with this post I will be able to show people how to use the search function more efficiently for greater accuracy and results.
The search function is one of the most powerful tools on this site, used mostly by those that need to use it most.
I am not sure of the reason for this (perhaps laziness, or the lack of knowledge on how to use the specific search functions), but I hope with this guide we can all have a better understanding and become better searchers.
This is for the benefit of all !

The search feature can be found in the menu next to the New Posts button.
If you are even too lazy to look for the search button then here's a link :
http://www.pocketbikeforum.com/search.php

Now let's try an example search.

For the first search if i enterd say polini speed into the Keywords field, and leave other options alone . Click on the Search button.
Lets say i get 839 matches. Now who really wants to look through over 17 pages of possible matches? I know I don't.

So now try a second search using the AND query.
This is a very useful option. We'll use our previous search, however let's alter it this way: polini AND speed.
This search will come up with say 31 threads. These threads will contain both polini and speed in the thread, limiting your search down quite a lot.

Another very good option is to use the search for author option. With this you can search for things by a particular person.
With this you can enter all or part of a username .
I used Ma* and got only 1 match. All by those with usernames starting with Ma.......

All of the keywords and author name can be used in conjunction with the * character.
This is a wildcard and can be used to give more results when using partial words.
For example. you could use Pol* AND speed this will give more results than the previous search but will cover any typos or spelling mistakes (or even lazy typing).
The same is true of using pol* AND sp* as the keywords.

This is still a lot of results but I have used a very generic set of keywords. You can be more specific by using more keywords and/or filtering the search to particular sections of the forum by using the dropdown menus .
You can also limit the search to more recent topics.
Or by listing them in different ways.
There are quite a few options to use that will yield results.
The buttons do not bite !


I hope that with you spending 5 minutes reading and trying the examples here, you will be able to use the search function for much better results , as well as removing the need for some of the very basic , much covered topics.

Their head wear displayed a full palette of colors and patterns, and symbolized different faiths. But the two dozen Sikh and Muslim women who gathered Saturday at a Fremont community center knew their turbans and scarves had a singular effect on many others in a country where their beliefs are in the minority.They make the women stand out as different, and to some, threatening."Around Sept. 11 this year, I had someone call me a terrorist," said Jasdeep Kaur, a middle-school counselor and volunteer with the Sikh Coalition in Fremont that organized Saturday's unusual joint forum with the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Santa Clara to address discrimination that women of both faiths face because of traditional religious head wear like her black dastaar turban. "We are visually standing out compared to everyone else."Organizers said local Sikhs and Muslims had never held such a multifaith forum to address shared concerns about discrimination and profiling, but decided to do so because it remains a daily concern. While the overt hostility that peaked shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks by Islamic terrorists has subsided, more subtle discrimination persists, they said."There's a lot of covert discrimination out there," said Harsimran Kaur, a lawyer and director of the Sikh Coalition.Organizers said they were unaware of specific incidents locally since last week's fatal shootings at Texas' Fort Hood Army base,Advertisementallegedly by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a distraught Muslim psychiatrist. But Harsimran Kaur said the possibility of trouble arising from that incident "is a huge concern."Sikh and Muslim women are expected to cover their heads. In the Sikh faith, which traces its roots to 16th-century India, both men and women cover their hair, which they do not cut. In Islam, which began in seventh-century Arabia, women cover their heads as a sign of modesty.But in the predominantly Christian U.S., at war in two Muslim countries, the head wear isn't always welcomed. Nura Maznavi, a Muslim lawyer, said she recently handled a case in which a Vietnamese Muslim mother of two in Sacramento was told by her boss at a collection agency that she would have to choose between her traditional hijab covering and her job. Then, during the discrimination case, the collection agency declared bankruptcy.Though the event was aimed at women who cover their heads in both faiths, a couple of Sikh men attended as well. nike air maxParvin Singh, a San Jose software engineer who wore a blue turban and matching T-shirt that read: "My turban "... a figure of majesty," said he hasn't had much trouble in the Bay Area, but has been hassled at airports in East Asia, where the Sikh faith is uncommon."Sometimes," he said, "we get into situations where we just need to speak our rights to them."Malika Khan of San Jose said she was harassed for wearing the hijab to her job as a clinical lab scientist at O'Connor Hospital in San Jose. But after complaining of discrimination, she won an apology."By standing up for your rights," Khan told the gathering, "you do get results."air force ones

KABUL (Reuters) ?C Afghan forces should be ready to take over security in Afghanistan in five years, President Hamid Karzai said at his inauguration Thursday, and pledged to tackle graft which has left his reputation in tatters.Karzai was sworn in as Washington decides whether to send tens of thousands more troops to fight an increasingly unpopular war. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was among foreign officials at the ceremony.Karzai, 51, also called for a "loya jirga," a traditional grand assembly, which under Afghanistan's constitution can take precedence over all government institutions, including the presidency itself.His inauguration for his second five-year term came against the backdrop of a rising Taliban insurgency, doubts over his legitimacy after an election tainted by fraud, and complaints his government is riddled with corruption and mismanagement."We are determined that by the next five years, Afghan forces are capable of taking the lead in ensuring security and stability across the country," Karzai said.He said Afghanistan's security forces should be able to assume responsibility of unstable areas in three years.U.S. officials say Afghan forces must be able to take over security across the country before foreign troops can leave. There are nearly 110,000 foreign nike shoes in Afghanistan, including 68,000 Americans, more than half arriving this year.Despite an announcement this week that Afghanistan would set up an anti-corruption unit, Clinton, in her first visit as secretary of state, earlier criticized Karzai for not taking enough measures to combat graft."They've done some work on that, but in our view, not nearly enough to demonstrate a seriousness of purpose to tackle corruption," she told reporters en route to Kabul Wednesday."VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE"Clinton said Washington would support the new government but expected serious results in building an "accountable, transparent government."Karzai said corruption was a "a very dangerous [url=http://www.sale-boots.com]timberland boots[url]" and pledged to appoint competent and professional ministers.A decision by U.S. President Barack Obama on whether to send up to 40,000 troops to combat a resurgent Taliban partly depends on whether Karzai can be trusted to press ahead with reforms. Obama said Wednesday he sought to bring the conflict to an end before he leaves office.A U.N.-backed probe found that nearly a third of votes for Karzai in the August 20 election were fake.While Karzai had been expected to win anyway, the extent of the fraud in his favor severely damaged his credibility at home and among Western and other nations with troops fighting to support his government.He has since faced tough pressure from Western leaders to clamp down on widespread corruption and replace former guerrilla leaders and cronies with able technocrats in his new government.STREETS DESERTEDKarzai had been set to take on former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah in a November 7 run-off before his opponent withdrew, citing more fraud fears. Despite pressure from the West for a power-sharing deal, Abdullah has ruled out joining Karzai."I have no nike sb of taking part in Karzai's government," Abdullah told Afghanistan's Tolo television on Thursday.Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, the most prominent foreign leader at the ceremony, watched Karzai's inauguration with foreign ministers from Britain, France and Turkey.Kabul's streets were deserted early Thursday with armored vehicles blocking off major roads. Security officers even stopped people from walking on the streets.The government declared Thursday a holiday and reporters were barred from attending the swearing-in ceremony.Karzai was installed by the United States and its Afghan allies in 2001.
