Search Syntax

Does this board have advanced search syntax capabilities beyond those shown on the "Advanced Search" form? That is, can users search for posts containing exact phrases or all of several words? If so, what is the syntax? If not, consider this a suggestion (if the software will allow).

Thanks

I'd love to know this too.

As of now the search function on this(and ALL vbulletin boards) really blows because it can't handle two words in the search (with a comma)... unless I'm missing something. Truthfully I've found google to be a better search engine when looking for a specific post or phrase with a couple key words.

What ever happened to multi-keyword-search?

Yeah... I'm pretty sure it's not multi keyword. I'll look into it and find our for sure, but I'm pretty sure that's the case.

The search is fairly specific.

Thanks for the response. I was afraid it was an issue with the core vBulletin software. Either that or I had missed something in the f.a.q.

Oh well, I suppose I'll Google up some vBulletin support or development forums and start making a ruckus.

Oh... THAT seemed to work.

Try this: searchterm1 OR searchterm2

The OR syntax seems to have worked for me....
