As search is only as good as
...the question and
...the resource.
 

Google Utilities:

  Google, whom I recommended from their onset as a browser and search engine includes many useful utilities :

If you are in a foreign country and want English only, delete the country code [th] and addend /ncr at the end of the URL  so that you will not be redirected to the foreign language of your physical Country location. The URL pattern used by Internet Explorer-Bing inserts a th-th for language; change this to us-en.
Define : if you do not know the meaning or correct spelling, use define: followed by whatever you want to know more about.
Language :
It also helps if you use chinese characters [traditional] in the search string;
if you use too many, the search will produce mostly chinese language sources;
if you use the pin yin chinese characters, you may only get references to a famous chinese model, writer, or musician named 'hua yue' or 'chen tuan'; I thus do not recommend using them.
Language search commands: It also may help to include 化出来的  for Similar Searches to include 'related' material. As a translator from Chinese, google is only slightly better than nothing and will produce nonsense for idioms.
 
Google Site-Search Utility:  ie. Topic at-Site: [URL] Target-site;
thus for searching the topic of aging, enter the search directed string as:
   aging site:http://futurity.org or for searching this site
   lineage site:http://waterspirit6x8.tripod.com
   abuse site:www.bangkokpost.com

   This more often works better than a sites own internal search..which in some cases seems lax programming or deliberate concealment.

Google Image Search

Drag and Drop Image : Identify-Compare

    Google added a reverse image search to their  list of utilities, allowing photo-image search [ identify original source, different places, usage, etc. You can search for images by entering a URL, uploading from your computer, dragging and dropping onto the search page portal search bar. [Note: Google-Image will also look at a photos background and my return results based on this data.]
   A defect of Google's image identity app. is that it too often relies on public input.

Drag and drop :
   Drag and drop an image from the web or your computer into the search box on images.google.com. This image search function will not work correctly if google is
hosted onto Microsoft internet browser.

   This is a good and simple tool, but it does not find all of the time, but usually does.
Two choices : to identify an image

   It is accurate to say, anyone doing an exercise has made more than a mental note about it; these include simple writings, magazine articles, books, films, videos, and websites. Each includes their understanding, viewpoints, vanity, and intent to record or to teach.  For this subject, too often, the media is intent on a sale rather than a complete record or to hypnotise and control to become a follower.

   General Encylopedic Introduction : en.Wikipedia, this is a well-intentioned public encylopedia resource assembled by an open-public 'committee'. Unfortunately the material tends flow back and forth as if the file was written in 'sand-scratch' depending on the knowledge and intent of the contributor   there tends to be placing of their own website content and organization ahead of the intent of 'correct knowledge'. Wikipedia attempts a 'neutral' unbiased public resource. But Contributors tend to record what they want and believe it, factual records and websites, such as this one are ignored or in time are deleted. This is a corruption of the story and the history for personal group notarity. This often does result in a 'challenge' to show authenticity and references but is also used as a discrediting method to delete data that is not widely known and is deemed 'divisive' to mainstream dogma.
 
   Also,  there is the zealot, un-versed, dogmatic 'editor' that wishes his own interpretation and own standards to be adherred to, ie. 'there is no support to call this exercise LiuHe BaFa', based on no knowledge of the subject, the context, and the diversity possible within the subject schema.
 
   The factual content thus suffers with the inclusion of unsupported fantasy regarding origins [chen tuan is highly unlikely] or that the best students came through the lineage of the HongKong school under Chen Yik Yan [unsupported by facts regarding the personal schisms that divided and disoluted the school into what it now is]. LHBF is both a theoretical-philosophical principles AND it can be and is APPLIED to exercise as boxing.

   There is also the trend to subdivide ad infinum...on and on a topic such that it is no longer tractable; this demonstrates a need for a general, collective summary which should then link to all of the subtopics.

Search -Queries : Chinese
  There are many ways to search, directly or indirectly ...meaning associated.

   It also should be remembered that for 'linked' topics, such as LiuHe- or BaFa-boxing, that there are many variations under the same name and there is also creations or stylings that do not fall under a school curriculum, such as 'Shao lin' temple. Thus, the query, in chinese must be for non [not] styles. This can also be problematic, as the query is correct, yet all other commentaries have not considered that there should be a separation.Also, consider that browsers such as Google may offer a query...but too often this is into any type of topic.

     An alternative is the Chinese language site  http://zh.wikipedia.org/  which only offers the core factual material as just another martial art. To access the chinese site, some ability to identify or read the chinese is useful and a cut and paste of the chinese pictograms is required, not english letters. The complete chinese phrase Liu He Ba Fa Chuan is necessary  六合八法拳 to perform a search; entry of LHBF alone will not or may result in the seperate philosophies of Liu-He and Ba-Fa, one being more 'taoist' and the other being more 'buddhist' is usage. Speaking within the context of martial arts most chinese understand LHBF is boxing; without context identity, most chinese will 'hear' and associate the LHBF as being an idiom of buddhist philosophy. It is also useful to do searches on 'swimming dragon' and on 'Lu Hong Ba Shih' or on 'Chen XiYi'.
 
Chinese website on Liu He Ba Fa, caution as some use only PinYin characters.

 
    A complete thematic-clustered search can be obtained with:  A9-search and alternate would be Exalead-search for thumbshots. Be sure to input all of the various titles: liuhebafa, liuhe bafa, liuhopafa, liuho pafa, waterstyle-boxing; caution: as 'water' boxing is associated with boxing in water and the HongKong New Years burning of gift boxes.
 
    For visual imagery on Liu_He_Ba_Fa, either the Google  is preferred over Yahoo.
 
    A thematic-clustering visualization search return is available using TouchGraph with the Google  Search Engine: http://touchgraph.com/TGGoogleBrowser.html 
 
   Useful also is an images visual search with oskopeOskope is like using Google image search mode with all of the images returned on one view frame and you being given the option of view formate. Select image source: youtube, flickr, amazon, ebay, then search name-entry: liuhe bafa. Next select view-form: [useless] grid, stack, pile, [useful] list, or graph. 
    The youtube site has most of the video clips for LHBF, the flickr site has only the photos of Yun Yin Sen at SanFrancisco Lake seminar with George Xu.
 
    The ebay and amazon sites do have some books, the amazon site does however return 52 frames of images for the query tai chi, everyone promises 'masterly' information.
   It is also useful to copy and paste the Chinese Characters into an search engine such as Google with chinese designated as the search language; what is retreaved can be translated into English.   [  六合八法  ]
