Default Usage of the search in this forum

Hello

If I use the forum search and enter two or more search terms, I get far too many result pages.
It looks like the search does search for any word in the posts, instead of matching all words.

Is there a way to perform a search where only posts are shown which contain all my search terms?

Using the + in front of each word does not help.

Thank you very much!

- Patrick

I think you can use quotes to specifiy an exact phrase:
"Using the + in front of each word does not help."

I also just enabled boolean searching so that may have fixed it.

Hi Eric and thank you for your fast reply.

Unfortunately it does not help. Searching for +email +disable returns 34 pages...

Not using the plus signs returns 34 pages as well...

I just searched for "disable email" and got two results. But not this post.

I think I found the problem. I forgot to update one of the usergroups. Can you try it again now?

Yes, it is working now!

No need to use the plus signs (+), just enter the search terms and go for it!

Great, thank you!

Now it's a lot more easy to do a "research" before opening a new thread.
