How do I use the search function?

For some reason I can't seem to figure out how to use the search function.

 

Suppose I want to find out, what contributions there are concerning

- Leica M8

- 135 mm Apo-Telyt

 

How do I go about this?

I am sure it is simple, but then so am I, obviously

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Use the "Search" button on the top rail, just below the 4 google-ads

 

Enter your search string like this, then click the button.

The results come through in a new window, like this one:

 

http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/search.php?searchid=359489

 

If you search for a common term, like "M8", you will get a billion hits, so you need to be more specific in your search terms.

 

If you want to be more specific about where you want to search, for example, use the Advanced Search link. Here, for example, you are searching ONLY in the M8 forum for the 135 mm Apo-Telyt

Hope this helps!

Thank you! I got it now.

One addition: In the right column we have a Google Search box that searches by default only the Forum. Sometimes this can be the better approach as Google makes suggestion if a search term doesn't fit at 100%.

 

Disadvantage: It's not always up to date as the Google spider visits us not every day...
