How to Search
 

CherokeeForum.com has a lot of great information. Sometimes the best way to get at that information is through a good search. Here are some steps in order to make an effective search.

Basically you have two types of Search, a Quick Search and an Advanced Search.

Quick Search
If you want to do a quick Search you can just click the word Search in the header bar and then enter the word or words that you want to search on and then press the 'Go' button.

Advanced Search
An Advanced Search though can be a great way to find the information you need. You click on the word Search in the header bar then click on the 'Advanced Search' link which is under the Search box. This will take you to the Advanced Search screen where you can enter more specific criteria on what you would like to search on.

You can search by a lot of different criteria with an advanced search. Some of the popular criteria are Key Words, user name, tags, or search in a specific forum.

Hope this helps!

It seems it would let me reply to this...obviously this post is WAY out of date, images don't even work, nor is this the best way to search CF.

Going to Google and typing your search terms and adding (minus quotes) "site:cherokeeforum.com" is the best way.

That's pretty cool, that should probably be in the CF Announcements section. Doesn't seem like anyone noticed your thread, lol.

Also there should be a more universal write-up of it for the n00bs who may not be using Chrome.

Or better yet, they could fix the search...

Hahah that last one will never happen.

I don't use anything but Chrome sadly. I know Firefox has a similar feature... at least I think I know.

I really do use that "cf" shortcut every single day.
