I want to search for a sensor to meet a particular need, but when I use the "Search the Arduino Forum" I get stuff from all of the sections, not just sensors.
Is there a way to constrain my search to see if perhaps my question has already been asked and answered?
Adafruit has the best tutorials, and they supply code with their products.
Go to Adafruit.com and Sparkfun.com and see what they have. They both have worldwide sellers.
I think you can not search in the 'Sensors' section only. If you want something specific, don't search on this forum, but use Google, and try to find a sensor for which someone has written Arduino code.
You could try adding the breadcrumbs at the top of each page to your search. As these are unique for each category it'll refine your search a lot.
For instance, a humdity sensor search:
"Using Arduino > Sensors" humidity
And leave the quotes on so google knows to find the whole string, not just words it contains (search bar uses google).
EDIT: On testing this, every result I saw was in the sensors forum.
