Post #7 ch=5868
Thread Practices and Philosophy

As most would be aware, to run a web search is a lengthy, involved, and often frustrating process for many people - the ability to shortcircuit that process in a complementary way and get to basic serious information is, we think, worth the effort on our part of setting upsjap, a "useful" URL listing.

We will add URLs as they come to note.

It is not intended that we try to emulate the standard search engines which remain your basic resource for this sort of material. Rather we intend to end up with a list of good quality URLs which provide a sound starting point for researching a given subject ... quality, not quantity, is to be the catchcry.

In addition, please consider running searches within PPRuNe as many old threads have very useful data.

When it comes to searches, there are system considerations which can present problems. One which gives regular trouble relates to there being a limit to the number of hits returned (around 200, I think, and if I see the correct number again, I'll provide it). This means that, if the hit list is too long, it is truncated. The fix is to be smarter in the search definitions to reduce the size of the data set .. a bit of trial and error will see you right on this one. I recall when I first found out about this ... a couple of threads I had "lost" suddenly were found following judicious refinements to my specific search criteria.

Please do add a post with any useful sites which you find from time to time.

The only thing we ask is that before doing so you have a good look at the site's content and ask yourself the following questions

(a) does the information principally relate to aviation technical material likely to be of use and interest to a reasonable number of PPRuNe members. Be aware that the link to aviation need only be VERY tenuous if the information is otherwise likely to be of interest to PPRuNe folk ...

(b) is the material of good quality and does the information appear to be reasonably authoritative. It is not intended that URLs be 'academic' in nature but rather that the information is sound and of pertinent value to members' interests.

Please keep in mind that our people vary from the newer members of the Industry through to rigorous academic technical personnel including more than a few people with PhDs (FYI - at least two Moderators on the site hold doctorates), at least one University Professor, and the like.

We would like to think that we can offer something of interest to the entire range of people who use PPRuNe. The intent, however, is to keep the listing to those sites which are reasonably subject serious lest the thread become so unwieldy as to be too difficult for people to bother using.

(c) does the site have any, or have links to any, inappropriate material - especially from the viewpoint of material lacking in good taste. Clearly such things would not be appropriate for this forum to appear to endorse.

(d) the site should have not more than a minimal amount of material or links which could be considered to be advertising. If you consider the site to be of exceptionally good value but it does have significant advertising, then please indicate this.

If you access a link suggested by another member's post before the link is included in the main post and you wish to second the recommendation, please do make an appropriate supporting post. Clearly, such secondary endorsement of recommendations will assist the Moderators in their review process. If you have any other suggestions for the thread please raise these in a post.

As with the Safety Forum protocol, posts will be actioned and then deleted to keep the thing under control.

Moderators, as their workload permits, will make a brief review of recommended sites and a decision regarding listing will be made. It is important that members be aware that site material will not be peer-reviewed and may contain material which is not rigorously correct in technical fact.

Sometimes recommended links will be faulty and, after several attempts to hyperlink, will be discarded. If you were the recommender, please advise if you know of any newer link for the item.

Any use made of listed URLs is at the risk of members and PPRuNe neither endorses nor makes any warranty as to the accuracy or suitability to purpose of any link or material contained in a webpage related to a link.

Should you find subsequently that the list contains URLs

(a) with inappropriate areas or links

(b) which are no longer valid or useful

we would appreciate a post to draw our attention to the matter. Do keep in mind that the apparent failure of a link may be due to a server outage or some other net problem so it is a good idea to retry an apparently failed link at a later time.

In the case of defunct or relocated URLs, please

(a) indicate clearly which entry is the subject of your observation - I have to find it, remember ..

(b) indicate the new URL, if appropriate.

We have no intention to tread on copyright or other sensitivities and, should any site owner not wish to have a link included here, please post accordingly or email the Moderators.

As the thread has grown without too much in the way of preflight planning, there will be things in it which could be done in a better way or links located in a more appropriate Index position. Please feel free to suggest changes to the Index and specific location of links as you feel the need ..

The Moderators, quite obviously, will have no hesitation in co-opting any useful site which we see in our net wanderings ....

Consistent with workload, listings periodically will be sorted to make their use a little easier. Where suggested URLs are incorporated, credit for the poster's effort is recorded below.

best regards,

SEARCHING TECH LOG (or any PPRUNE) - UPDATED NOV 2011

One of the great strengths of Tech Log is that it is an ever-growing repository of knowledge which can be searched. The search function is not completely friendly, so here is how to get the best out of it. The latest version of vBulletin software has a different set of rules for searching, and so this post has been amended and updated:

1. Click on search on the top menu, then click on advanced search on the drop-down menu (since the default for a normal search is to search only the very recent posts).
2. Change the 'find posts from' to an appropriate time span - I use 'a month ago' and 'older' for instance. Default is very recent posts. (You can save your preferences by the way, at the bottom of the screen).
3. Use several keywords to limit the search results. With only a single keyword there are potentially thousands of results but since there is a limit of +/- 400 posts in the search response, many won't be listed and will be discarded, and the results may not be much use. Typically the oldest posts get left out. It looks like the limit is one of 19 pages of responses.
4. To search with more than one keyword, the search phrase is a bit specific. So if I was chasing up discussion on brake cooling during turnarounds and whether the brakes should be released to aid cooling, my search would be looking for brakes cooling and release. I would use:

RIGHT WAY(S)
brakes cooling release
brakes AND cooling AND release

WRONG WAY
brakes +cooling +release

5. To search with one keyword excluded, say my search was looking for brakes without any discussion on fires, I would use:

RIGHT WAY
brakes -fires

WRONG WAY
brakes NOT fires

6. Check the number of results you've got. It should be less than say 25 or even 50 (well maybe 100 if the term is common). If the results are somewhere near 400, then you have hit the limit and an unknown number of posts have been discarded. The latest vBulletin version just stops searching, but doesn't tell you that it has. It looks like the limit is one of 19 pages of responses. Take a look at the last page of your search responses - if the posts are dated in the last year or two, then clearly a lot of the earlier posts have been missed.

Rephrase your search, or limit the forums you are searching, or put in date limits, etc.

is there an easy way to save all of these references to my mac computer?Method 1 - Safari>Safari Extensions Gallery (Safari 5 only). Scroll down and install tablinks.

Then open all the pages you want to bookmark in a new tab (command click, it does also help if you have this set up in safari preferences to open behind the open tab).

Then click on the link (chain) icon on the top and all the links are displayed.

Method 2 - Slightly clunkier, but saves the links in bookmarks...

Right click on the bookmarks area of the browser in safari (just under the address bar) and create a new folder, then name it.

Open all the pages you want to bookmark in a new tab (command click, it does also help if you have this set up in safari preferences to open behind the open tab).

Right click on one of the open tabs - there should be a menu item of "add bookmark for these [number] tabs"

Click it and add it to the folder you created (and named appropriately) above.

If you want a keyword to appear in your search results enclose it in double quotes. The + operator no longer works.

Thread suggestions updated at 17Jan. Still have to run a check on all hyperlinks to eliminate any delinquent calls where I can't find a later URL.
