Is there anyway of checking to see if anyone else has posted a question that may help you without going through the entire list for your subject???????
yes, look through the related questions.
Or, use the search box in the upper right of the page
Thank you, that might help me more to see how someone else has worked a similar problem out
Yes, there is a way to check if anyone else has posted a similar question without going through the entire list manually. Here's how you can do it:
1. Use the search feature: Many platforms or websites that host question-and-answer sessions have a search function. Look for a search bar or search icon within the platform or website you're using.
2. Enter relevant keywords: Think about the key elements of your question and enter them into the search bar. Choose specific and relevant keywords that accurately represent what you're looking for. For example, if you have a question about a specific topic like "computer programming," include that in your search query.
3. Review the search results: The platform or website will display a list of search results that match your keywords. Skim through the titles or snippets of the search results to see if any of them appear to be related to your question.
4. Refine your search query if needed: If the initial search results don't appear to be relevant, you can refine your search query by using different keywords or adding additional terms to narrow down the results. This can help you find more specific and relevant questions that have already been posted.
By using the search feature with relevant keywords, you can quickly check if anyone else has posted a similar question without having to manually go through the entire list for your subject.
