Search for phrase?

[mhorowit]

I know we've used the phrase "crushed spar" during the live of the forum, but I don't see any instructions on how to search for a phrase. Tried ", single quote, and "+" in front of the words.

I'm open to suggestion on how to do this search - MIke

Hi Mike,

the search is pretty simple feature, the words you put in the search field are
-and- meaning all words must be present. At least last time I used it.

If you click on advanced search, there are some more options you can use to expand or narrow the scope.

Keep in mind also that your user options may be set to only show articles that are less than n days old, I think by default some accounts are at 30 days. You mght change that to a year, or forever if you want to dig back.

Seems to be 'or' vice 'and' - MIke
