Searching the Forums, and Irrext.

Post by stevebondy »

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but it seemed the best area for this question.

Are there any plans to improve the search facility for the forums? Whenever I search for something I get hundreds of matches and I have to wade through tons of useless stuff to find what I need. It sure would be nice to have a more powerful search feature.

Most of the time, what I need is here, but it takes ages to find it.

By default the forums use "or" to join the keywords, if you explicitly use "and" between your keywords you get a far narrower result

Thanks, that does help. I had actually read that info at the side of the search page but then forgot it :(

There's a button under the search box that says to search for _all_ tema. I find that especially helpful in doing morespecific searches
