Hi, everybody -- 

 

Just a moment to pick your collective brains,if you don �t mind.

 

I thought I �d get a feel for the search function on this site after a few months, but I think maybe I �m still not quite getting the hang of it.   I frequently get no results at all -- too specific? So, if I broaden the parameters a bit, then I get countless pages of potential results,  so many that they are impossible to go through.

 

I suspect I �m not using this site to its fullest, and this is the thing that �s holding me back.

 

Do any of you have any suggestions?  I mostly download ppts, with a sprinkling of other things.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Cheers from China,

Hi,

 

I sometimes have the same problem but I have tried to search more specifically without being too specific.

For example: if you want a power point on the past simple try searching "past simple powerpoint", or if you want a powerpoint for a speaking activity you may try "speaking powerpoint".

I �m not sure if this will be of great help but it �s a start.

Happy hunting!

Thanks, Sylvia -- That actually DOES help. I didn �t know that they were ordered by most downloaded.  That does bring some comfort.  

 

And at least I know I �m not alone in the search frustration. 

 

Thanks, gang. I appreciate it :-)
