Wreith Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Not really an issue with anything, I'm just wondering if there's a guide to the search function somewhere? Like are the special character combinations that can be used to refine searching? Do quotes behave like they do in google? Things like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagerunner Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I looked around for some IPB search help (which is the platform that these forums run on), and I couldn't find anything useful. I'd say, experiment and see what happens. I haven't messed with quotes, but I know that if you use multiple search terms, it the default results include either of those words. Which gives way too many results for me, so I usually modify the search and remove the "+" that it automatically inserts in place of a space, and put an actual space in there, and then run it again. That makes it search for results that include both of those words. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Quotes do behave like they do in Google. I think some boolean things work but I don't have a guide for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just occasionally remember semi-exact quotes from different threads and want to try and find them again, but with/without '+' and quotes don't seem to affect my ability to find phrases 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
