LNLeather Report post Posted July 7, 2012 FYI - Here is how I find the best results... Up in the upper right corner of this page - is a search box and on the right side of that is the word Advanced. I always use the Advanced choice, so click on that. Now there are 2 ways I used this Advanced feature. I search by Subject or by Author. • Subject - The way I have found works the best is to use just one word (the simplest) like airbrush, basketweave, case, checkbook, dye, edge, fingercarving, finish, graphics, holster, ink, knife, lacing, modeling, pattern, sheath, sewing, sharpening, swivel knife, tooling, vinegaroon, wallet, etc… • Then just scroll down and click on the choice for -------> Display results As posts • Then click on Search now. There will be all kinds of the posts for this subject and it will show those with pictures...... there may be a lot of posts that are not relevant, but I end up finding things I had not even thought of… • Author - If you find a post with really good information, or really great photos of something that interests you, take that authors name and enter it in the Find author line. • Then just scroll down and click on the choice for -------> Display results As posts • Then click on Search now. Not only will you get their posts, but pictures they have posted too. This is a Grrrrrreat way to find all of the posts available (limited to the first 200) - about anything you might be interested in… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LNLeather Report post Posted June 30, 2013 I wrote this about a year ago and now it is a bit out of date - Below is an Updated "How To Use The LW Search Engine" Click on the star/wheel on the right side of the search box - This is for the Advanced Search (I also always open it in a separate window - so hold down the command key and click on the star/wheel) These are the 2 ways I use this Advanced feature. I search by FIND WORDS or FIND AUTHOR. 99% of the time I use this option…… • FIND WORDS - The way I have found works the best is to use just one word (the simplest) like - airbrush, basketweave, case, checkbook, dye, edge, fingercarving, finish, graphics, holster, ink, knife, lacing, modeling, pattern, sheath, sewing, sharpening, swivel knife, tooling, vinegaroon, wallet, etc… • Enter your word in the Find words box • For the Search in section choice click on Forums • For Display results pick As posts • Click on Search now. There will be all kinds of the posts for this subject and it will show those with pictures...... *** There may be a lot of posts that are not relevant, but I end up finding things I had not even thought of… The other way I use the search engine is • FIND AUTHOR - There are some Verrrrrry Talented Leather workers here and they share pictures of their work and share Very Good tips on various subjects. If you find a post that interests you and you want to find more pics or info by them - take that authors name and enter it in the Find author line. • For the Search in section choice - click on Forums • For Find author - enter authors name • For Display results pick - As posts • Click on Search now. *Not only will you get their posts, but any pictures they have posted of their work.
