Searching the forum

Post by adamu »

The forum has been around a few years now, and the built-in search doesn't work very well which makes finding older information difficult.

A more useful way to search the forum is to use a public search engine and add "site:https://retirejapan.com" to the end of the query.

For example:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gloabl+index+ ... ejapan.com

This doesn't place any restrictions on the words you can use or the length of the query, and has the benefit of including the blog in the results too. 😇

Heh, I misspelled global, but DuckDuckGo figured it out. Another benefit! 😄
