    Is this the post for which you searched?...

    http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/r...cheerful-52684

    Just to test my search-fu, I went to the advanced search page and searched posts and forums for anything containing the word "bender" and authored by "PJs". The URL above was the first item in the list returned by the search engine.

    When you search, try to search for words that the article might likely contain, as opposed to some guess at the title of the article. As best you can, pick words that are longish and relatively uncommon. "bender" isn't super uncommon but when you combine that with the specified authorship the number of possible results drops dramatically. You're almost certain to have a result list that can be eyeballed in a few seconds.

    Searching is arguably the most useful aspect of the personal computer. Learning how to construct self-narrowing searches to exploit that utility is very worthwhile.
