There are now a LOT of posts on this forum, and I'm getting feedback from many of you that it is increasingly difficult to navigate through all this rich material.

Consequently, I'm running an experiment right now to test a Google Search engine for the Beat The GMAT! Forum. All of you are familiar with Google and understand how it is a powerful way to organize data--I've been able to adapt this search engine to query specifically the material found on this website.

Check it out for yourself--try a search for "gmat flashcards"--it should bring up the Beat The GMAT! GMAT Flashcards in a FLASH!

I'm always trying to solve for your ease of use. I'd love to hear your feedback on this new technology for the forum. Thanks!

Just wanted to also point out that this forum's built in search engine is very good as well: https://www.beatthegmat.com/search.php

Great way to search by post title or author.
