Search Function

[Wreith he/him]

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.

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.

Quotes do behave like they do in Google. I think some boolean things work but I don't have a guide for you.

nothing in particular. 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
