General Search Tips
Try different search words.
There are many words to describe any question. Try to visualize words a Seeker may use to describe the kind of questions you wish to answer. Try several different options and combinations -- but use just two or three words at a time to be sure you get a variety of results.
Use specific words instead of general ones.
For example, a search for Gardening Daffodils will return fewer, more-targeted listings than a search for Gardening.
Add or remove the letter "s" for more results.
For example, you'll get two different lists of items when you search for recipe and recipes. Try your search with and without the final "s"
Be careful when using and, or, and the.
da Gurus search engine searches for and, or, and the just like it would any other word. Use and, or, and the only if you're searching for items containing these words, such as Black and Decker Mixer.
Don't use extra punctuation.
Only use punctuation in your search if you expect it to be in the item title or description for which you're searching. Examples include t-shirt and Dr. Phil.
Consider browsing.
If you're not searching for something specific, try browsing through the category listing pages for questions.
