Re: Tips for Searching the Forums

It's a little tricky, but I'll try to help.

Let's say that you want to find threads that discuss a router table.

You can't put in just the 2 words, as it won't work right.

I always check off " in subject and body", out of force of habit. And "Newer than 1 Year"

So here's what you have to type in the "Keyword search terms" box.

+router, +table, -re:

The plus signs mean to include the word. The commas and spaces are important.

And the -re: tells it that you want the 1st post only, and not all of the reply posts. (You will see them in order once you open that thread.)


This is what it will give you:
