STFW??
The main problem I have found with doing this in relation to TDE is avoiding KDE4. I rarely succeed. I either get nothing or, if I add KDE3, pages of KDE4, no matter if I put -KDE4 in my search string.
So I rarely find answers on the web. Any suggestions as to how I can improve my Google-foo in this regard?
Quote marks help--entering "kde3" -"kde4" into Google gets me correct search results at the moment.
Clicking the "Verbatim" link in the left sidebar turns off a lot of Google's attempts to (wrongly) reinterpret your search results.
Or switch to duckduckgo.com , which interprets searches the way a technically adept person would expect. These days I tend to go there first, rather than to Google.
