Searching UHH with keywords

For those not aware how to search UHH for specific content-

The search function here only searches the TITLE contents.
If people use poor titles, like "Help", "Need advice", "Question", NOTHING of value will be returned in a search.
If the title doesn't contain what you're looking for, it will be passed by, even though any post contents may contain what you're looking for.

Using a Google search like aurora site:uglyhedgehog.com will search the thread content for your keywords, but only at UHH, not the entire net.
Be aware that aurora borealis for the search keys will return things that contain aurora OR borealis,
but using "aurora borealis" (in quotes) will search for the string aurora borealis (must contain BOTH words in that order).

Happy searching....

Supposedly, it you use something like item1+item2+item3 Google will search for places containing those three items, but in any order. At least it used to do that.
(contains item1 AND item2 AND item3)

Thanks for the clarifying info. Some search engines don't recognize quotation marks in their search.
