str8.to - FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I separate multiple words? I tried str8.to/two words and that doesn't seem to be working.

A: Use hyphens (-) to separate words. str8.to/this-would-be-one-example. Periods and underscores would also work.

Q: What if I want to use a hyphen (or a period, or an underscore) as part of the thing I'm searching for?

A: Use two. Searching for str8.to/bow--tie will search for bow-tie. This also works for underscores and periods.

Q: Can I create a link to a quote?

A: Sure! str8.to/”To-be-or-not-to-be”.

Q: You should have something like this that works specifically for Youtube/Wikipedia/Dictionary Definitions.

A: Google solves this problem pretty well.

For Youtube searches, search for str8.to/youtube-dramatic-chimpunk.
For Wikipedia entries, try str8.to/wiki-truthiness.
For Dictionary definitions, use str8.to/define-laudable.

Q: I wrote str8.to/super-smash-bros for my friend on MSN, but he didn't receive it as a link. What's wrong?

A: Some instant messengers recognize links better than others. Try using an alternative domain name (such as srchlink.com), or adding www to the beginning of the link.
