INSTRUCTION .  Click the link and change the search terms (currently: oil OR tyres ) to whatever you like.

add your own search tips and in time I will edit them in here, as per John Vine’s demonstration (thank you).

Tips

001 you can search on a specific phrase by enclosing it in " "  

For example:

Horn not working produces 105 results over four pages
"Horn not working" produces 6 results

So in my examples below, I haven't used quotes and that may get better results.

002 ?

STICKY?

The idea is to make this a sticky in techtalk if it is seen as useful to be able to google search techtalk specifically.

If not, that's fine, it has been a blast.

 (seat and alignment are not good as a search term, too many alternatives use the same words, e.g. valve seats)

Use - (MINUS) to exclude false hits

(The OR is merely to demonstrate its use, the default is AND so we never see it.)

[John Vine]

Good idea, Anthony.  And you can search on a specific phrase by enclosing it in " ".

For example:

• Horn not working produces 105 results over four pages
• "Horn not working" produces 6 results
