How to get better searches

Postby TheoW » Sat Aug 22, 2020 10:39 pm

While the built in search is fairly decent, it's not exactly the best with story tags or overly common words. If you're finding the built in search isn't working for you, you can use the google site search, which is just a way of limited google to a specific website.

To do that you would add "site:https://thechangingmirror.com/phpbb/" to your query, and that will only return results from the forums.

Some example queries:
Female to Male : https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A ... pbb%2F+F2M
Weight Gain: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A ... hpbb%2F+WG
IQ changes: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A ... hpbb%2F+IQ
Pretends to be the boss around here.

Now if only more authors listed the story tags on their stories, that would make things more convenient.

Hi guys
Absolutely! Story tags are a reader's compass through the vast literary landscape. They provide a roadmap, helping us find the narratives that resonate with our preferences.

I didn't realize it was possible to search this way. It will work with all sites, right?

I checked and indeed it works on all sites. When you need to find specific information on a large site it is very useful.
