Advanced Search

[gosh]

I can never get advanced search to work. I click on search, do advanced search, i type in containing+text+txtsetup.sif, to find that command that searchings txtsetup.sif. However the search results only have one keyword, not all 3. IE search will return results with containing or text or txtsetup.sif, not all 3 together. Search should only return results with all 3 search terms. What am i doing wrong here?

Thanks for reporting this. I've actually reported it before, but nobody else had complained so the problem hasn't gotten much attention. Perhaps this will increase the priority.

From the search function's "Advanced Usage Help":

+apple +juice Find posts with both words

+apple -juice Find posts with 'apple' but not 'juice'

This has worked properly for me in the past, but seems to be broken now. No matter what combination of strings and operators that I use, those operators (+ and -) don't seem to have an impact on my search results.
