RE: How do I find a Magazine
Quote: alocsin What do I need to type in search to find a particular magazine to review. I've stumbled at random onto reviews for Popular Science and Consumer Reports, to name a couple, but when I type those names in the search engine, I can't find the review again.
Is there any secret to finding a specific magazine? I've tried typing titles in General Search and under Magazines & Newspapers, and Magazines & Subscriptions.
Yes, there is a secret to finding any topic on Epinions, and that is to use Google to search and not Epinions' own search engine. Really. Those of us who've been around here a while know that Epinions' search engine is rife with problems and peculiar results.
The best way to search for anything on Epinions is to use Google. Use this syntax: "consumer reports reviews site:epinions" (You do not need to use the quotes.) Notice that there is no space between the colon and "epinions."
A Google search for anything on Epinions will be much more reliable than Epinions' own search tool. Just one of life's little mysteries...
