Tips on using forum search?


Recommended Posts

This has plagued me for sooo long to the point that I have to make a topic about this:

How do you search efficiently using the forum search on neowin? :p

Whenever I try to search any two keywords like "one two", the result will display any topic that has either "one" or "two", but never topics that only has both. I tried "one & two", "one AND two".... but they don't seem to work. This is very anonying... but I think I'm too stupid to know how to use search engine correctly :p

mmm, forgot about google site search...

how do google neowin forum? site:www.neowin.net/forum doesn't work... :\

I just did +one +two on forum search, it can't even find this topic :blink:

test: one two (so forum won't treat my previous "one as one word and two" as the other)

just google the whole of neowin, there not much here apart forum

also this is from the Invison board officail site:

apple banana  Find posts that contain at least one of these words

+apple +juice  Find posts with both words

+apple -juice  Find posts with 'apple' but not 'juice'

apple*  Find posts with 'apple' and/or 'applesauce'

"Some Words"  Find posts with the phrase 'some words of wisdom', 'some words' but not 'some noise words'

I think that might of changed slightly for the new version though
