| Search Engine Tips |
|
normal searching can be keywords separated
by spaces, ie 'cool steel cages' (returns any record with one of those words)
|
|
for words you *must* have, add a '+',
ie 'cool +steel cages' (returns any record with steel. Records with cool and cages will
be returned first. If 'steel' is not found in any records, no results will be returned.)
|
|
for words you *can't* have, add a '-',
ie 'cool +steel -cages' (returns any record with steel, but not cages. If a 'good' record
also has cool, it's returned first. If there are no records *with* 'steel' but *without* 'cages',
nothing will be returned, even if 'cool' is found.)

The 'Search In' drop-down allows you to search through the 'Current' active threads and
messages in each forum, or you may select a year and search through the messages that
have been archived.

Keywords are matched almost exactly. A search for 'wyvern' does not match 'phwyvern', etc.
However, a search for plurals will revert back to singular. For example, a search for "blues" would
match the word "blue", etc.
