AI Thread Summary
Searching for whole sentences on forums can be challenging, as single-word searches often yield too many results. A recommended method is to use Google with the sentence in quotes, combined with the site operator for more precise results, such as "site:physicsforums.com." This technique effectively narrows down the search to relevant discussions. Users express frustration over sifting through numerous posts and prefer targeted searches to find specific content. Overall, utilizing Google’s search capabilities can significantly enhance the efficiency of finding whole sentences within forum topics.
