FourOaks Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I would be ever so grateful if one of you lovely ladies who is a great "searcher" of the forums would assist me. I do not understand how I can search for a specific phrase or a title without the search splitting it into separate words. I have tried quotation marks and using the + sign between words and that doesn't work. What do I input to search if I would like to search for something such as "AP Computer Science" and I don't want every instance of "AP" & "computer" and "science" to show up. I just want the complete phrase or title that I am looking for. Help anyone?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 You actually have to do it as an advanced search on Google instead of a search at TWTM forum itself. The last option is search within a site or domain. If you enter http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/ it will search them all, or you can enter a specific forum such as the high school board. Happy Searching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine State Sue Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 There was a board crash back in April, and the search function has never been the same. :crying: It used to search on the phrase 'AP Computer Science', but now, it is what it is, as you have discovered. :glare: Google is your next best bet as a pp mentioned. You can't restrict the search to a particular board, so you still have to weed the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in MN Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Another possibility is searching the tags. Some of us like to use those :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
