I do it manually - similar to the search Rohan posted. In this case I used
Quote:
Holds the connection open until you are finished (don't forget to close it!).
If I come across a phrase that looks "unusual" compared to the rest of the style of a particular article or other posts by the member then I tend to use that in my search. I'm afraid experience has made me guilty of some racial profiling in this regard (I am not pleased with this Blush | :O )

Another one I often use is the text that annotates any images or class/variable/method names that are a little different to the "norm"

I've become so cynical about the quality of "articles" being submitted these days that I tend to assume they are plagiarised and will check several phrases within each.
