searching help.. - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

ok, so maybe i'm missing something...

but i would like to be able to search using multiple terms and have results only be ones that contain ALL search words...

not sure how it is now, it *seems* as though it finds posts with any of the search terms...

i tried connecting my terms with 'AND' but got the same number of results.

and i just tried searching as tho it was a phrase, with ", and that still gives me waay too many results...

just trying to avoid starting a thread if there's already similar one...

Use non-common words.

Computer, download, titty, animals, fuzz-bucket, squirrel are all pretty common search terms, and there are a ton of posts that have the same words in them. You may have to try other words and terms.

Also, we don't mind if you DO do a search, post something, then realize that it WAS posted already. Just make sure its not so obvious that you didn't search.
Example:
"I'm looking for free image hosting."

we all know that there is something like 5 threads concerning this.
