get a better search engine

Site / Forum Issues Started Last reply 10 posts
The search engine for the boards is terrible or I don't know how to use it to the fullest capacity. Sometimes I need to do an exact search for one or two words but have them in the same post and I get a lot of garbage.

If the search engine is more robust can someone post a guide on using it? If not then get a better one.
It's been a while since I had to search for anything, but IIRC if you put in 2 words to search for, it'll show you all the threads that had one or the other as well as both words in them. This is no good.
Just put "" around the words and it will search for the exact phrase.

Among other things. I suggest you learn how to use search engines first.
if it doesnt come with a turtorial, then im lost.....i only tried the search once...and never again will i think it's useful.

good thing i dont need it anymore ^^
Guess I should have looked at the advanced search tips... Never noticed it before >>


Use +keyword for required keywords.
Use -keyword to exclude posts with a keyword.
Use quotes around a phrase to search for a phrase. Use spaces around the word to match the exact word. Example " word "

Yeah I finally saw that after you mentioned it. Works for me.
"+" is my friend.
Last week I was looking for the wit tables for resurrection.. so I put in.

Search: +wit +resurrection
Limit: 50
Period: Newer than 3 years.

Low and behold, there it is at the bottom of page 2.
