[RESOLVED] search control

[shiva_42]

If I want to "Advanced Search" for a multi-word phrase, like "drop box", specifically because I DON'T want matches on just "drop" or "box" but only the two together, what do I have to put in the search box? I've tried "drop box" in quotes, but still get partial matches. Sorry for the ignorance, can't seem to get past this speed bump...

In this case - I would use-> dropbox (all one word) since it's the way dropbox spells it.

ok, but what about the remaining meat of the question? I still don't know how to control this when it's NOT a one-word search requirement...

Use this search string:

site:virtualdr.com "drop box"

on Google.com.

Thanks SpywareDr... but I feel a little like I'm the one-eyed king in the land of the blind here... is there not a direct way of controlling this INSIDE of VirtualDr's search capabilities???

I feel like I'm asking a question of my psychiatrist, and he keeps responding, "well, how do YOU feel about that?" ;-)

Lean back and give him both birds.


AFAIK, vBulletin's Search cannot do what you're after.
