I've added this to our "Read Me First" section, but to save time I've pasted the info here too. If you're new to this kind of searching (even though it's really old in Internet years), it can really help.
Our Search function here a the VO-BB uses Boolean logic. If you use the words AND, OR, or NOT, in your search they can really help you get you where you need to go faster. Here's a good primer on how this works:

Happy hunting!

When I try to get people to use boolean searches they always think it's some sort of Tholian Web or to do with booze.
I gave up and got boozean faced. _________________ Threadjackers Local 420 Member

For efficiency and good results, here's how I search the VO-BB. I think I got this tip from Deebs a few years ago.
Use Google, like this:
