Advanced Search
The site has an Advanced Search. You can access the Advanced Search the same above, by clicking on the down arrow in the Search box and selecting it from the resulting menu. Advanced Search allows you to fine tune your search to include only specific content, specific channels, or even to search something posted by a specific member.
This site uses a keyword-based boolean search. This means that you can search for multiple keywords but not specific phrases. The default search uses "and". This means that if all of your keywords appear in the content, it can be returned in the search results. You can also use "or", "not", and "-" (minus sign) for "not". Short, common, and bad words are omitted from the search criteria.
Here are some search examples:
Using the default search ("and")
What it does: Finds results containing both words
Example: Type "Memphis ribs"
What you'll get: Results about "ribs" with the word "Memphis"
Using "not" or "-"
What it does: Excludes search results with a particular word or phrase
Example: Type "Bass -fishing"
What you'll get: Results about "bass" that do not include the word "fishing"
Using "or"
What it does: Searches for pages that include either word
Example: Type "Vacation London or Paris"
What you'll get: Results with the word "vacation" and either "London" or "Paris"
