LineC Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Need a little forum 101. How do you get a specific search to work. If I type in something like "same side intercooler" I get results for every post that has any of these words. When I am trying to find posts that have all three words in them. Searching like this "same+side+intercooler" doesn't seem to work either. Like the new site other than that though....

Administrators SuperDan Posted February 22, 2010 Administrators Share Posted February 22, 2010 Need a little forum 101. How do you get a specific search to work.

Searching like this "same+side+intercooler" doesn't seem to work either. Like the new site other than that though.... The built in search engine is not so great. I am working right now on setting up a separate more advanced search engine using a 3rd party application. Ill keep you guys updated.

Administrators SuperDan Posted February 22, 2010 Administrators Share Posted February 22, 2010 Ok, installed the new search engine. Here the basic query syntax you can use in the search box. Boolean query syntax Boolean queries allow the following special operators to be used: explicit operator AND:hello & world operator OR:hello | world operator NOT:hello -worldhello !world grouping:( hello world ) Here's an example query which uses all these operators: Example 5. Boolean query example ( cat -dog ) | ( cat -mouse)<br class="example-break"> There always is implicit AND operator, so "hello world" query actually means "hello & world". OR operator precedence is higher than AND, so "looking for cat | dog | mouse" means "looking for ( cat | dog | mouse )" and not "(looking for cat) | dog | mouse". For more advanced searching options you can have a look at the manual here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naviathan Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Speaking of search, is there a quick search somewhere that I'm overlooking similar to the old "New Posts" search (search query GetNew)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
