How do I use the search?

Start by clicking inside the search bar at the top of the page, and typing what you're looking for. Pressing enter on your keyboard starts the search. If you change your mind, you can click the red X that apears to reset the box.

Some tips for searching:

• Searching usernames or emails will get both uploads by that user and uploads with that name in the title
• Search for key words, if you're having trouble looking for what you want
• Typing filetype:"swf" at the end of your search will present only results that are swf files, you can select multiple file types by adding | inbetween each type (example: stickman filetype:"swf|fla")
