EbenC Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 This might be a stupid question, but does anyone know how to do a multiple word search to find posts that have all the word in?The search option seems to do an "OR" between each word and will list posts that contain any of the words. I only want posts that contain ALL the words.
latentree Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 just google: word1 word2 site:www.thehuhsa.co.za
Pusher Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Hah! Only losers bother to search anyway.Meaning?
Dicky DQ Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 add a "+" between the words and put the search on " " marks. like in this thread search for "stupid+question" It seems to work
Dicky DQ Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 or leave out the " " marks not sure on these.
Burts Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Hah! Only losers bother to search anyway. So if you don't "bother" to search are you the winner then?? Wow!! Lot of winners on The Hub. Edited February 12, 2011 by Burts
IdeJongh Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Hah! Only losers bother to search anyway. Giggling at the typical Hub replies. Thanks TNT. But the "" works. just google: word1 word2 site:www.thehuhsa.co.za Thanks for this, learnt something new today
EbenC Posted February 12, 2011 Author Posted February 12, 2011 just google: word1 word2 site:www.thehuhsa.co.za Thanks! Good one as you can search on as many words as you like to narrow down the results. Only disadvantage with this is that you cannot confine you search to a particular forum.
TNT1 Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Meaning? Meaning I have a constant and well known rant at morons that don't search before asking or posting.... So my post here is typical Bob sarcasm. Explosive Bob, if you please... Edited February 12, 2011 by TNT1

Useful nonetheless.

So my post here is typical Bob sarcasm. Explosive Bob, if you please... Agree, but with most only searching on one word (as typing in two will return results of any post in which one of the words appear) it is no wonder that so many cannot find what they are looking for.
