How do you find your posts on PC World? I tried searching my name and tried on google but I couldn't find them. Do comments get indexed in the search engines?

Google will not find them, but ixquick will. Here's a search for all of your posts: http://ixquick.com/d...anguage=english . The results are not easy to sort through, but if you're patient, you will find all, I believe.

Here's a search of the forums for all times that your name was mentioned in a post: http://forums.pcworl...15&rankBy=10001 .

Hi Rasmasyean. In addition to what Number6 has provided, the original PCWorld Community search engine is being tweaked. In previous versions, one could find all incidences of postings and not just original Discussions. I believe, I could be wrong, this will be addressed shortly.

I found an alternative way to do this in IE8 and seems to work better with the Bing search engine. It brings up pretty recent results.

Go here:
http://www.ieaddons....eatesearch.aspx

Copy and paste the following into the "URL" field:
http://www.bing.com/...rc=IE-SearchBox

Give it a name like "PC World Search".

Click "Install Search Provider".

Now it can be selected on the top-right search box and you can type in your name and other keys. It even works for anything you type in and will search the PC World site.

Hey! That's a great idea. (As long as you don't mind getting MS involved.)

[rasmasyean]

What do you mean by that? There's something between PC World nad MS?

[number6]

Nothing special. I just don't know if MS uses that gadget that they provide for tracking at all. I haven't looked closely enough yet.
I use the ixquick and Scroogle search engines.

Nah, I don't think it's that "sophisticated".
It just substitutes the word TEST with your search string and automatically adds site:pcworld.com to the end of it.
Technically you can manually type the whole URL from scratch and achieve the same result (with any site...even ones that don't use bing). But the search box automatically types it for you and hits enter.
