Boolean search possible ? (1 Viewer)

[scotjimland]

I'm finding it increasing difficult to search for specific topics in posts .. Is there a way to make the search feature accept boolean operators?

Basically when I run a search on two terms, I want to find A AND B, not A OR B.

would be useful

I agree it would be a useful tool to hunt out old posts.

I've given up searching on here and do my searches through Google, adding motorhomefun to anything.

Yes, it is very frustrating at times..

with this number of Threads: 44,550, and Posts: 542,789 (today's stats)

by comparison, a needle in a haystack would be easy

If you took more care of your posts you wouldn't need to search for emoh:

It works, and very accurately for the search i did, not saying it will be the same for all. Thanks very much for this very useful hint.

You can use the site:http............ on any website..


if you wanted to search on here for Munchie and NOT sex, they the following would work, not tried it, but having a - before the word will eliminate it from your searches

Munchie -sex site:http://www.motorhomefun.co.uk


If you want to look for something specific, such as ShiftZZ is great then encase in " " eg

"ShiftZZ is great" –Munchie -Sundance site:http://www.motorhomefun.co.uk

You can also search within a specific document type e.g. pdf

"ShiftZZ is great" filetypedf site:http://www.motorhomefun.co.uk

Enjoy

I know i will forget this, so I have saved the google search page as a bookmark, all I need to do later is call up the bookmark and change the various parameters.

Google Custom Search

Perhaps in Jim is agreeable and time permitting, he could insert a Google Custom Search box and have it on the home page .. ?

I have tried it and it works well.. the code is generated by Google.
