Bitcoin Forum

Hi all,

Been really trying to use the search function on bitcointalk.org to find Altcoin Announcements and
the search results, are not accurate at all in any way.

Any suggestions, on how to get better search results?

Search using Google's advanced search: https://www.google.com/advanced_search (https://www.google.com/advanced_search)

• Fill in the search words
• For 'Site or Domain' enter bitcointalk.org
• Make other selections for date, etc

Yep, I use google advanced search pretty often too. Works fine :)

Thank you, component9. Pretty neat way to do, it  :o . Worked for me.

Was also thinking about a way to track any new thread created on
the Announcement Section of bitcointalk.org.

Is there a way to do this?

I use Telegram group (not a ad.) https://t.me/todaybounty . How i know, this guys parse announcements desk and send to telegram new topics. Think, that good variant for you

There is no easy way to search this forum except to navigate  through  the left side menu bar.  Better off using google search.  The search feature is so archaic it wouldn't search anything of value in the search criteria.

I often use Google Search and I think it better our forum fuction.

You can try: ICO name + bitcointalk
Exp: ANN ICON bitcointalk

Or

Site: bitcointalk + something (ANN, Bounty, Airdrop) + Google tool (today, pastweek,...)

The search function finds the content in only the section you are in. So it is recommended to search something staying at the index (Home) page so that it brings the results searching the complete forum. It works totally fine for me.


Go to the section for which you want to get notified for new topics. There is a button right beside the Pages section below "Child Boards" named "notify" (if you can't it, simply press Ctrl+F and write 'notify' in there. It will find it for you). Click on that and you will get a pop up alert asking you to allow notifications for new posts in that section, and click "ok". Now you will get notifications for the new topics posted in that board.

There's also a shortcut for this. That's what I am using. It's faster that opening advanced search every time.
At the end of your search terms in google just add site:bitcointalk.org
For example: segwit address types site:bitcointalk.org
