In case you or others dont know, this forum needs a bit of digging to get the most out of.
When you use the simple search from the top (the magnifying glass) you actually have 2 different ways of searching
By using the Google method you can then sort by relevance or by date by clicking on the option at the top right corner
The reason we don't include more options is that this type of search includes everything and anything, including request and help sections hints&tips, etc which cannot be categorized
That is why we have the Torrent section at the top. This is a fully indexed search about any torrent on this site
Click on No 1 to go to the torrents page
Select from No 2 the topics you want like OS/Software etc
On No 3 Section type your search and any other criteria like Date range or a specific uploader, etc
and you will only see relevant torrents.
Hope it helped
