Most Efficient Way to Search For a Topic/Thread

[Loren]

...Thank you in advance, for tips/suggestions. Specifically, I have been searching for a thread pertaining to Progressive Rock, although, I'd like to know the most efficient way to search, in general. Thanks, again.

Is there a specific thread you know of that you're looking for or just one in general? My searches seem to show that "progressive rock" has been mentioned twenty times, ever. I found this by going to "Search" then "advanced search" then picking a specific forum to search, "Music," which isn't the exact title but is the only one with music in the title that I saw, and then I searched "progressive rock" there.

I think generally the most efficient way depends, unfortunately, on what is being sought.

A specific thread would best be found by indicating "titles only" and searching its title.

A thread on a particular subject may best be found in the way I described above.

Looking for any thread which mentions something in particular would likely just be a general search.

I hope something here answered you to any extent!

@Loren
Did you find what you were looking for?

I got these by entering "Progressive Rock" into the search box.

Aspies taste in music?
90's
A Wonderful Journey Through Rock and Roll

Got these by entering "prog" into the search box.
Prog metal album about Asperger's
Any Prog-Rock/Post-Rock fans here?
Prog metal album about Asperger's

Sometimes less is more, in the sense that the shorter search term
seemed to have brought up more items specific to what you may
have been looking for.

I wasn't aware of the shortening to "prog"! I bet that got what she wanted! Very clever.

For some reason, I thought I had to fill in information within the search box, verbatim/ very specifically, which, I suppose, gave me limited results. Additionally, I was only aware of one way to search. Thank you, both, very much, for your help. Fino, thank you for your extensive list of suggestions! I will give all a go. Thank you for the useful links, tree!
