just an example ... I searched for cannon, and it took me to an entire page of all the components needed to fire a cannon, and to make a cannon. I use that page every time when I have to replenish my pirate hunting stock (powder, fuses, etc).
It's true that sometimes it won't bring an exact match when there's an apostrophe or some such in a word, but I just type in part of the phrase and it lists the pages with that word on them. it also autofills, so if you type the beginning of something and arent sure how its spelled, it will bring up matches as you type the word. That helps a lot.
What it is lacking is in depth tips and tricks, but I've found that most of the pages I have visited at least give enough information to understand the things that I needed to learn about (new additions etc).
That's where Katana's post about pirate hunting fills in the blanks. I found enough on uoguide.com to be dangerous, and picked up a few tricks, but Katana and others that posted here on our forums really helped me to get a deeper understanding of how to pirate hunt (as an example).
If you find an aspect of the game that uoguide or stratics just doesnt cover, then post a question on these PAS forums, and someone will answer.
Another quick example. I wanted to understand more about the new changes to dungeon shame. So I just typed in shame, and it brought up a page that included a link to the new dungeon item drops (or something like that). That link showed me all the new descriptions about the items, which was what I was looking for.
