Not a GIP

Before I'm off to the office and other places, livejournal search advice that all the savvy folks among you can skip.

If you're looking for something specific and perhaps a bit obscure on livejournal, don't bother with LJSeek (which is a creepy, creepy site, anyway, as it keeps displaying locked content if it was posted as an open entry for even one second) or other search sites with fragmented information--go straight to Google and use this kind of format:
site:livejournal.com "[Wesley icons*]"
* just an example, obviously. I found Justin-from-Ugly-Betty icons that way, too.

Thank you for this! I’ve forever wondered how to successfully search LJ.

Welcome! You can obviously search any site this way, but for LJ, it's especially interesting because there are no good alternatives.
