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!

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:
