Search Help Needed

[ChicagoJoe]

I'm trying to search for "blue rhino", but the search functionality will not let me search for "blue rhino".

If I used blue rhino in the search term, it searches Keyword(s): blue or rhino
If I used "blue rhino" in the search term, it searches Keyword(s): "blue or rhino"
If I used 'blue rhino' in the search term, it searches Keyword(s): 'blue or rhino'
If I used blue+rhino in the search term, it searches Keyword(s): blue, rhino

I tried the same thing in the 'tags' section, with no luck.

So please tell me how does a user search for posts using an exact string?

Thanks User,
but that helps me none. I dont want to read thru 16 pages of threads to find information on "blue rhino".

I'm looking for information on how to search for a specific string.


This looks like a code change will be needed to accomplish this. Most of the bike forums I frequent have an option to search "match ALL words" or "match ANY word".

A boolean search on google is the best way to accomplish your specific mission.


Type into google exactly as below.
"blue rhino" site:420magazine.com

You get this result of the 43 specific posts (3 google pages) where the exact phrase
is used. This let's you scan the google result to find a grow journal or bud photo or whatever your specific interest is.

@Marc Ocean is this still the only way to search for a string on the forum? If so, how hard would it be to add quotes functionality? thanks

I like this website, but the ease of use is atrocious. The search engine functionality should be functional in site if it’s even going to be offered as site feature. So what gives guys? Just wondering

 

[cbdhemp808]

This forum is awesome! It would generally help people use the forum, and thus attract more use, if people could search for strings using quotes. This is a very powerful feature.

This thread is hOW OLD!?!?!

 

[cbdhemp808]

Yeah, it's old. I just happen to be someone who uses the search function a lot, and I'd like to see this improved. So I just used the only thread I could find on the subject. I actually found one older one, in 2009.
