How to search the MuseScore 4 Handbook with a Google query operator

• Feb 22, 2023 - 19:06

MuseScore users have expressed frustration about searching the Handbook for MuseScore 4.

I believe these are the main reasons :

• Currently there’s no PDF edition of the v4 Handbook
• There’s no apparent tool on musicScore.org that restricts search results to the v4 Handbook alone, thus excluding forum posts
• To my knowledge the handbook is not available in a single HTML page which one could search with the Browser’s page search tool
• There's no index to the Handbook

Hopefully these situations will improve. But in the meantime ...

"site:" is a standard Google search technique that can focus a search within the MuseScore 4 Handbook.

The site: operator contrains search results to a particular domain or to areas within a specific URL. (More on Google search operaters here.)

How to use the site: operator to refine your search to the English version of the MuseScore 4 Handbook. IMPORTANT NOTE: The listed search queries are not clickable here in the forum.

To test them out copy the entire line and paste into your Browser's address/search field.

In your browser's address/search field enter:

     site:https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4

... followed by a space and then one or more terms you’re searching for.
