The damn search function

[bigAL 2,176]

It's not just me, it's actually trash right? I can never find anything. 

 

 

Those Boolean features are just teases because they do not help at all. Groovy Dood (or "groovy" or "dood") does not appear in Will3's post. Why would I ever want to search for the word "and"? Ugh.

 

This is probably a forum problem we can't do anything about, but does anyone have any tips or tricks or workarounds for using this damn "search" "function"?

Yeah the only time I really "find" something is when I look through 15 pages with something I type that's related to the thing I'm trying to find.. Even gotta use advanced search for that. Never find anything searching straight up usually, it's a shame really because it could be very useful for everything

I use that and it works fine for me

I can usually find what I'm looking for because I know which buttons to press to get what I want. That said, the default "most relevant" search is garbage.

I agree with AL here. The search function is brutal.

That's the Boolean operator, kinda like an Excel formula I wanted to find an article that had both "Groovy Dood" and "junior" in it. Theoretically, if I didn't put AND and just put groovy dood junior, it'd ring up any article that had "groovy" or "dood" or "junior", whether it had one, two, or all three of those words.

 

Googling and searching is actually a surprisingly complex science haha

I might have to recreate as Boolean Operator now

 

Thanks @bigAL

That’s how we finally solve the checking AND penalties problem! We haven’t been using the bools!
