The New Search

iwz by iwz · Nov 5, 2003 · 73 views

So, what do you guys think of the new search?

You can now search pretty much eveything on the site, from News to Threads to Events to Comments. The coolest part is that you can filter the search to only a specific user. This is awesome cause you can find all of your posts, and easily look for replies to your posts, or search for a specific post that you made a long time ago.

Some different ways to search:
You can use + and - just like in google, and you can also use *.

Examples:

apple banana
find rows that contain at least one of these words.
+apple +juice
... both words.
+apple macintosh
... word "apple", but rank it higher if it also contain ``macintosh''.
+apple -macintosh
... word "apple" but not "macintosh".
apple*
... "apple", "apples", "applesauce", and "applet".
"some words"
... "some words of wisdom", but not "some noise words".
