Brilliant Idea for a thread. It took me 20 mins to find a thread the other week. Nice one Scotty. :-*.

I once advised welsh uk on what to choose as a Christmas present for himself. The choice was between a television and a P900, I have found the thread before, but I haven't got the link. Anyone who comes across it, please post the link. Thank you.

Do that moderators have a different search facility to the rest of us? Is that one of the perks of the job?

I am sure you already know the answer to that is no. why would laffen provide a better search facility to us that to all the members who really need it?
no, we use the same
search and we have not been on special search courses or in any way had other training that lets us find threads by any special trickery or magic
I found these threads using the same search that everyone else can use! I keep saying its not that bad and it isn't and this isn't the first test I have had of finding threads
mind you I wouldn't mind SQL query access to the database to perform custom searches using full SQL syntax but I'm sure thats not going to happen

I know, I was just joshing.
I can usually find what I'm looking for, but what I find most annoying with the search is the amount of nonsense that I have to wade through to get to the thing I'm looking for.
Do you have any tips for members?

erm, just...
use the search
no there is nothing I can say that will help really as each search is individual but its no different than google and there is an old computer adage that says "garbage in - garbage out" and really the quality of the results depends on the quality of the search criteria given.
the search page itself gives all the help you need and thats all I work with
By default, the search engine will find the most relevant post to the search term. Just like Google do. But you may want to be more specific and use some of these operators:
+ A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present in every post returned.
- A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be present in any post returned.
* An asterisk is the truncation operator. Unlike the other operators, it should be appended to the word, not prepended.
" The phrase, that is enclosed in double quotes ", matches only rows that contain this phrase literally, as it was typed.
Examples:
apple banana - find posts that contain at least one of these words.
+apple +juice - find posts that contain both words.
+apple -macintosh - find posts that contain the word "apple" but not "macintosh"
apple* - find "apple", "apples", "applet".
"some words" - find "some words of wisdom", but not "some noise words".
