Re: Advanced Searching
Google is the predominant search engine.
See the Google Help: Cheat Sheet for some quick, easy-to-understand info on Google searches.
For more detailed help with Google's Basic Search mode (the default), see Basics of Search.
For help with Google Advanced Search, see the following: class ul class li Google Help: Advanced Search class li Advanced Google Search Operators

Inktomi
Inktomi has a powerful search engine that used to power the searches at many sites like MSN and AOL. However, this search engine has been largely phased out, which is a shame since it has some unique features that can be really useful for CJKDramas.com members.
However, you can still use this search engine at Yahoo! (which bought Inktomi) and Position Technologies. I recommend using Yahoo! since Position Tech doesn't handle Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters.
Unfortunately, Inktomi's advanced features are not officially documented, but people have been able to piece together much of Inktomi's search syntax.
A great Inktomi feature is searching for web pages containing links to music. For example, a feature:audio 我和殭屍有個約會 brings up a list of My Date with a Vampire pages that have links to music.
Similary, a Yahoo! search for feature:video 大長今 brings up featurette Forum : 大長今系列 which has links to amusing commercials inspired by Dae Jang Geum. (Some links are broken, but some work.)
