At last someone has explained how to use the search function! I thought it
was just that I was an idiot that I could never get anything out of it other than
a "Keyword Too Short" message from it. Thank you, Thank you,, Thank you.

-“66” -“Re:” –“is SB” –“is BB” +”with 6<”

The key parts of the above search are the first and last keywords. The first omits any posts with “66” in them (you should run that search first). The last will find instances where a converted hand history shows a 6 as one of hero’s hole cards. This technique is less effective because you will get results where hero had 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]…or…6:diamond, 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]…etc. because you cannot search for exact hole card matches because of the different possible suit variations.

I guess u could solve that problem by adding +">6<" to the search string, making it

-“66” -“Re:” –“is SB” –“is BB” +”with 6<” +">6<"

?

Does anyone know where the link to the UBB search tips went?

If you are using FireFox, I found a brilliant extension called Scrapbook. You can go through a page and highlight key points and even use sticky notes (though I find them a bit too much). I will bookmark a page with scrapbook and highlight the key points. I will then come back and review it when I have a question about a hand.
