"OH Hey Jeff glad to hear from you, well, .nothing just asking a general question, I use the search alot, I do what others suggest,which is be vauge, some times it works,Jeff Lange said:
Thanks jeff, I was just wondering, I'm not looking for any thing in particular
Just general, off topic question,... just looking for suggestions
use advanced search and only search relevant forums only; for instance for 7M-GTE stuff, search the 7M turbo tech forum only (otherwise you'll get non-relevant results, like shit for a 2JZ, 1JZ, ect, ect. Questions that pertain to the MA70 chassis, you could search the general, 7m-GTE, and 7M-GE forums as well.
The objective is to narrow how many threads you have to search through by making sure you're not getting for sale threads and other crap that you don't want to see, in your search.
Also, the "search only thread titles" (or something like that) is useful to try to find threads that are on the subject at hand, instead of blindly hitting threads that merely contain the key word you're looking for.
In essence, the forum will search every thread for the keywords you put in... so searching for "DDP" will find you every mention of DDP in history... so you'll have to learn to narrow it down to avoid having 500 hits. Have fun.

Best advice I can give is in my sig 
Start with multiple specific keywords. If that does not return satisfactory results then be more vague.
Multiple keywords works best because the search uses an AND function.
