TIP for Forum and WIKI searches - A better method

Here is tip for searching the FORUM and WIKI with google. It works much better than using the forum or wiki search tools. Bascally you are simply searching each with google's advanced search "site" option. I set a "hotkey" to enter each base phrase, then all I need do is change the "TERM" to the text I want.

Here are the two entries for a wiki search and forum search.

TERM site: online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/

TERM site: https://forums.auran.com/trainz

In both of the above, simply replace "TERM" with your search term. Be specific. Make use of phrases and quotes to narrow search. For example:
"backup folder" site: online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/
with the quotes included returns the one entry discussing the "backup folder"

Likewise, the first return for this search is the Terminology page explanation of "sleeper." (which I didn't know)
SLEEPER site: online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/

I hope this tip allows you to have more productive searches.
