200 threads on the Board (rather than just the 20 that are normally
displayed) click the following link, then use the "find"
function in your browser.

If hitting "Enter" doesn't
work on search, try clicking the search button instead.
Searching by keywords
Don't forget to search for misspellings too... searching for "icecream"
will get you a few more ICE CREAM threads. More...
If you are searching for multiple words, click the "ANY"
button. For instance searching for "ice cream" will display
all threads with ICE and all threads with CREAM in as well as the
ICE CREAM threads.
Threads: 100 posts to view When you click one of
the thread links, it will display the first 100 posts in the thread,
unlike the BBC site which presents 20 at a time. Further clicking
will advance another 100 threads.
Searching by name If you are looking for threads
by a particular person, type a memorable part of their name and then
pull down the "Search only in..." button to "Writer".
Searching other boards
This search engine searches all the food boards, but old TV &
Radio posts appear at the bottom of the list.

Managing your old discussions
The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy website is linked to
the BBC forums. If you sign up to it (free), your page on the Hitchhikers'
site will have a list of all your discussions on it. You can use this
page to remove discussions you are no longer interested in, and apparently
the list is complete, whereas your BBC list of discussions, threads
disappear off the end as you enter new ones when you hit your limit. More...
There have been several confusing posts about this... basically
before you join, you do not have access to your info, and the site
looks like the following screenshot...
once you join, you get extra buttons, including "My Conversations"
and "My Space". Use your BBC board details...
otherwise you may find you have given yourself a new identity, as
I did first time I tried!
Click the screenshot to go to the H2G2 page. It can also be reached
by typing "h2g2" in the BBC search box.

Searching threads more quickly
Tip from Paulthebread:
"I'd like to see a mention on your site that adding ?show=200
at the end of any board or thread URL will give 200 posts on one page
instead of 20. When I want to look through a long thread I go to the
last post, then hit 'First'. I then add a zero to the '20' at the
end of the URL in the address bar to get 200 posts on one page. Then
I use the CTL F function to find what I'm looking for. " |
