I will give everyone a tip.

IF you like using RIU but find it difficult to find any information using the search facility then type something like this into google

"what ph should i be feeding my plants in coco rollitup.org"

If you type this into google you can even try it now you will see hits in the top 10 for RIU threads asking your question.

better yet, just click advanced search and then click thread titles only and plug in your keywords and ill bet you an ounce that it works fine.

also another great search function is to search filetypes etc you can type something like filetype:pdf marijuana and that will find direct links to pdf files with the keyword marijuana. you could also type filetype:avi and then a search keyword to give you direct links to avi's. this works with any and all filetypes and you can mix and match the search functions together to find filetypes only on specific sites etc.
type rphonebook: name, city, state
and it will list phone numbers, its a great phonebook tool.
there is tons of google search functions like this.

well there really isnt anything to be scared of by searching google. google gets millions upon millions of searches a day and they are not going to track or report you for looking up marijuana related information. if they were concerned with doing that then everyone that visits this site or any site like this would be at risk just from google analytics so there is absolutely nothing to worry about there. i dont like the search funstion on this site, i usually dont get the best results, but with google its spot on every time. there is nothing wrong with asking generic questions either imo just because sometimes its a better feeling to have someone telling "you" whats up with what you want to know.

If someone is too paranoid to search cannabis topics on google, how the hell are they going to feel with a closet full of plants? I mean if you think google is coming to get you, then your probably gonna be thinking your neighbors and friends and that cable van outside is out to get you too. To some ppl the world is a very scary place for no good reason, and those ppl probably shouldn't be smoking weed to begin with.
