handy schematic search tip

[Mark Hammer]

The ever-resourceful Joe Gagan posted this clever one on the DIY Stompbox forum last week. If you do an image search within Google (and I imagine several other engines, if not now, then soon) and specify over on the left hand side that you want to look for ONLY BLACK AND WHITE IMAGES, a much larger number/proportion of hits in that first screen will usually be schematics and PCB layouts.

Doesn't really work for PDF service manuals, of course, but if it's out there in GIF, PNG, or JPEG form, you'll stumble onto it sooner.

Thanks, Joe!
