How To Run A Proper Forum Search ?

[Fisher]

How do I search for more than one word? For example, I wanted to search for posts on Senior Life (the company) and got back all posts that had either Senior or Life in them. Not good, lol.

I tried wrapping with quotation marks - "Senior Life" - and Boolean - Senior AND Life - but had the same results. I even tried to search up posts on how to do this but came up blank. I must be missing something...

Seriously? That's the best way? Hard to believe.

But thanks, Scott.

Nothing in particular right now. It's always been an issue and I finally got around to asking about it today.

Hi Fisher,

The forum search engine does not use all the regular search operators as search engines: Google, Bing Yahoo etc..

Instead, you need to use + (plus) and - (minus) to add or remove a string from your search.

So in your case, if you're looking for Threads about Senior Life insurance here's your search operator
Senior + Life
For more accurate results, you might want to have it search in Titles Only

If you looking for threads discussing Senior Life but don't want the Leads then your search operator is
Senior + Life - Leads


I hope this helps.

Val.
