How to Search the Forums for Items
When I’m looking for specific things or want to find something I saw before but don’t remember what category it was in, I come to the forums and do the following:
- Click the magnifying glass at the top right
If you don’t know what a magnifying glass is, it’s this thing:
- In the search bar, enter Deal Chatter and then your search terms with a + before each term ensuring to put a space before the + (e.g. Deal Chatter +dewalt +drill)
- Press Enter (or the equivalent on your device)
- Press More at the bottom of the list
- Change Sort By to Latest Post
- Click on the links to whatever you’re interested in and buy it if you want it/if still available
If you ever feel like being particularly disappointed by woot, just enter www.woot.com/random as a url in your internet browser and it’ll bring you to a random item you probably never wanted. Want extra disappointment? Enter that url again and it might show you another random item that you also probably don’t want.
