Search ignoring required words

Post by sec1078 »

Well, I didn't think this would be my first post, but I can't figure out how to search for multiple words.

I search "Brew Bag" and the results page says:
"
Searched query: brew bag
ignored: bag
"

I tried "brew bag inside still" and got:
"
Searched query: brew bag inside still
ignored: still bag
"

I tried adding + in front of each word and got the same results.
There were too many results for me to page through.
What am I doing wrong?

Try typing this in the URL bar instead of using the forum's search function.

site:homedistiller.org type search query

I was able to get the results I needed by using my search engine with search parameters along with homedistiller.
BIAB would have worked for this as well, but there isn't always a single word replacement for all other the stuff in my head.
Well ... maybe there is.
Thanks

The Google HD search feature uses google to search the HD site where the built-in phpbb search function doesn't work as well... Use the Google HD Search function for best results...

Cheers!

When folk on here talk about using the google search , they are talking about the one I have circled in Green on the top right of the tool bar . It is a special feature Uncle Jesse added to this forum to make searching easier.

The one I have circled in Red is the one that comes bog standard with pHp boards and is , as you have found , very meadiocre.

Being power by Google , the first few results will be add related .

But if you scroll down a few , you’ll find all the HD forum ones
