Searching for topics to solve or moderate

One comment I have heard a few times is that the Support & Help category can be somewhat overwhelming with many questions. Something I find useful and powerful is the Advanced Search built in to discourse.

The Searching for content effectively topic on Meta Discourse is worth looking at, and also bookmarking!

Moderators and supporters should consider making heavy use of “Advanced Search”. The examples below get slightly more focused as you go on.

Bookmark these! Feel free to edit this page and add more handy bookmarks with search queries you’ve crafted!

Note that the search pane doesn’t allow you to pick multiple statuses (e.g. open and solved), but you can mangle the URL to allow it, or type multiple statuses in the box in the search page.
