Due to the fact that daily we get so many double topics asking for the same question already asked on the forum, and because there is no thread on how to search on this forum.
This thread will be dedicated to the forum search and DFAQ (Daily frequently asked questions).


Where to find the search button

Obviously the search button is located above next to the help and donate button:


How to search
The forum has 2 ways to search on this forum.

Google search
The google search can be found here:


The way the integrated google search works is the same as the google.com search engine, however the integrated google search only searches for topics/post in the public forum boards.
Google search can be used more often than the "normal" forum search functionality, due to the fact that this method costs less forum resources.

The advantages for the integrated google search is that you can use queries to refine your search as detailed here:
https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433

Example
You want to know what a bounty is, you can search for it in 2 ways:

Search: What is a bounty
Yields:


Most of this information is not relevant, that's why you can refine your search results by using a simple method:

Search: "What is a bounty"
Yields:


By inserting the "", google search will search for exactly the same words put into the "", therefore it yields much better information than without the "".

Disadvantages of using the integrated google search functionality is that we can't search within specific boards, for example the altcoin announcement boards.


Integrated forum search
The other method is using the integrated forum search located here:


The integrated forum search uses more resources than the google search and can't be used as often as the google search.

The advantages of this method is that you can use a lot of ways to find topics about certain questions:

Different ways of outputting your search:


  • Most relevant topics first --> Checks based on your search query which topic matches your query the most and outputs this as first
  • Largest topics first --> Checks based on the total amount of posts (the largest) in a topic and based on your query, which topic displays as first
  • Smallest topics first -->Checks based on the total amount of posts (the smallest) in a topic and based on your query, which topic displays as first
  • Most recent topics first --> Displays the output of your query based on the topics that were created recently
  • Oldest topics first --> Displays the output of your query based on the topics that were created the first

Other benefits to the integrated forum search is that you can search in specific forum boards:


Example
You would like to know all new airdrops posted recently

Query:
Search for: Airdrop
Search order: Most recent topics first
Untick all boards and tick only "bounties altcoins"




Yields:


The most recently posted airdrops will be showed on the first page, based on the date of creation.

What to do if hacked
Hi there,

I just made this account in order to get some assistance.  My bitcointalk account has been hacked (password has been reset by someone else).

The e-mail address and bitcoin addresses associated with the account are mine and I can prove that.  If this has happened to anyone, or you know the process to recover the account, can you please share some insight?

Thanks.
