Anyone who has tried to use the UHH search feature knows it's not exactly Google
One aspect you might not realize is it provides only a single page of results, even when there are more (and they aren't sorted in date order). And, of course, the search results are based on key words in topic titles, and we all know how many titles offer no clue as to content.
Google Advanced Search - where you can insert the website name - is a much better tool.
Another resource: on some of UHH's specialty sections "home page" are information pages. True Macro Forum has many!
UHH's
Post Processing Forum has a topic stickied near the top titled "Post Processing Tutorials and Free Software." This document was originally constructed by user Searcher and I've been trying to update.
Check it out when you get a chance and let me know if a member has posted a topic that should be included. Many thanks!

No, sorry for not being clear (that has become my "new normal," I fear). I'm just looking for
tutorials posted by UHH members.
For example, a couple of days ago Rongnongo said he was going to write a tutorial on layer masks:

This is the current list of tutorials created by UHH members:

Good of you to post this, Linda. We should all learn about the limitations of the UHH "Search" function and other options for searching.

Next up: why rely on the daily digest when UHH is open 24/7?
Linda, is Searcher still around and active on UHH? I have missed that guy, he was a boatload load of Lightroom knowledge.

Searcher's last post to UHH was in October 2015. In June 2015 he wrote that he'd been away "after a long illness." Since he wrote his final comments only a few months after that, it's likely he had a setback (or worse). We've lost so many wonderful and generous members due to health issues.
