search question.

Post by Carwarr »

I really love this message board. I wish many of my other boards were as well programmed as this one.

My question is: When using the search page, how do I go about searching for an exact phrase? Like in Google, I can type "phantom device" and I will only get that phrase and not a message that has 'phantom' and 'device' in two different spots. Is this possible with this search?

According to the phpBB documentation:
To increase the speed and decrease the overhead of the search utility, only words may be searched for. Phrases (such as "cheese wheel") may not be searched for, except by their component words.
