G+_Rud Dog Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Is searching community content to avoid overlap, possible? Happen to notice the pages load as you scroll through thereby leaving historical content of KH unseen by the search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Shooter_FPV (Shooter_FP Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 In the menus on the left there is "Search Community". Not sure why that wouldn't work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Ken Jancef?, I am going to have to look at that. At one point I was left scrolling ot fi d one person's post on Open PCR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Damien Wessling Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Ironically, for a 'Search' company, Google didn't just drop the ball on 'Searching' within Google +, they dropped the whole ball pit. Try searching on an Android device... Not possible! You can search, but only to return groups or communities with whatever words you have typed, forming part of their group name. Woeful would be the best I could say here, in an effort to remain polite. It's been so long since I've used it on the desktop, I can't say if it's any better but I feel it lacked the basics in usability to my last recollection. Happy to be corrected if someone has successfully achieved what they set out to, in regards to searching within the group's posts, by finding something (that they were actually looking for).

G+_Rud Dog Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 This is the most asinine deprecation ever. So much knowledge and can't search it? Need more coffee. Tried using google+ name and item got a bunch of junk and maybe if I searched through each returned item I might find what I am looking for but doubt it.

G+_Jason Perry Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Did you see anything about how to format the search? Eg @google+ community:"know how" "what I am looking for" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Paul Hutchinson Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I put "Open PCR" in the community search box and it brings up this post and another post from Jason Perry 32 weeks ago. Seems like it works OK for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rud Dog Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 if you don't mind me asking what was the exact format you used all I got was your Google page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Paul Hutchinson Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Rud Dog All in the left side menus: Click Communities. Click Know How. In the "Search Community" box enter the search term and press enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rud Dog Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Thank you Paul Hutchinson took me awhile to notice another search box at the bottom left of my screen. Looks like it works, kudos. For those of you not seeing it here it is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Paul Hutchinson Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I think I just realized what trips up people. Since this is a members only community you have to use the special single community search to see the posts in this community. The main Google+ search box only returns results from publicly visible communities and personal posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Giligain I. Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Using Google+ I searched with "TWIT Know How" android and only got one result: https://plus.google.com/117282464325286148342/posts/UZXvZsUsVNj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
