Vinz9 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hello, How can I perform a search on the forums with multiple keywords which are not a phrase ? I tried +, AND, but it's always looking for the phrase. Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrice Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi, I'm having the same problem. I tried using OR but it doesnt seem to make a difference. Best Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 our search page is a little wacky, but apparently it goes like this : foo bar = Find posts that contain at least one of these words +foo +bar = find posts with both words +foo -bar = self explanatory foo* = wildcard "foo bar" = phrase search I hope this helps..

Vinz9 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi, Thanks for the answer, but I just tried a search with +wacky +difference, which should at least find this page, and it returned no match! not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Marc Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Try it now. I switched it back to fulltext searching, which seems to make it work. The only downside is that you now can't search for words with less than 4 characters. It's mildly annoying, I know... I'm going to look around and see what can be done to improve the search here. Cheers Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinz9 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Sorry to bother you, but the behaviour is even weirder. 1st try : wacky annoying : has returned topics with wacky but not annoying 2nd try : +wacky +annoying : no match (both words are in this topic) Good luck!

Marc Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 hmm... it works fine for me. Using both the quick search and the real search page... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 using google with "site:odforce.net" on the end of the search would also be effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellchuk Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 using google with "site:odforce.net" on the end of the search would also be effective wouw, I didn't know this one. looks like it works pretty good. cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
