Not sure if many of you already know and do this, but in the advanced search you can change the search type from natural language to boolean and save search preferences. I find it a much better way to search as you will get more results. I've been on this forum for 4 months and just found out today.:oops:

I do a lot of searches since I am such a noob at photography. Today I was trying to find a specific post I had read a few days ago and searched for "noise" and kept coming up empty. I kept thinking that it should be right there and thought I was going crazy. Then I found the boolean option and there it was. Another search I did was "rebel" in the small flash and studio lighting. With natural language, it only came up with 11 results. With boolean, it now comes up with 395 results.

Just thought I'd share that tid bit of info.:)
