Newbie Search Word List

[Bob Lyon]

How about a list of single words that newbies should use to search Shop Talk and Shop Talk Archive? I'd say limit it to what would probably be in the subject title so that the searcher could use the "search titles only" option to get a whole thread about something rather than a random word hit in a single message.

Here's my suggestions:

"BEST" - This is my favorite. There are lots of great threads on what's the best steel, tool, method, etc, etc.

"HOW" - As in "How To..."

"HEAT" - As in "heat treat"

Well, that should start it off. Any more?

edit: PS-Phrases work well; "heat treat" etc.

Kydex... will get you some great info on how to work with that.

Stabilize...for inf on how to do woods or bone.

Forge...will take you to how to make one and to how to use it.

Tutorial... will take you to ones here and with links to other sites that have them. Very usefull!!

The only thing I don't like about the search feature is it can't take two letter searches. That leaves out things like A2, D2, O1 ect.

This place is loaded with info! Let the search begin!!
