How do I find specific questions...?
If I go to the "Programming and Design" section and search at the top of the screen for "Java", it gives me questions from sections other than Programming and Design.
How do I search for specific things e.g "Java, C, Python, etc" from one section only?
Thanks guys.
Holy mother of fail though, save my search... how intuitive. And its not exactly easy to find the saved searches, I was lost clicking into "my saves" from the drop down on my profile name on the top right, and that was bringing me to the yahoo homepage... apparently its for saving articles.
Anyone looking for their saved searches:
Answers Home -> More -> Saved Searches
or
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/?tab=saved
Had to do something like the latter on Youtube to find the inbox after some other iGenius redesigned that site.

Use the advanced search function. It has been hidden in the new version, but available. Do a regular search and save it. When you then go to that Saved Search, you can edit it and limit time periods, status, and category.
