skylark Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I recently wanted to search the forum for info about the External Instrument plugin. I ran a search and got tons of stuff containing "external"; but no results containing both words. OK, so I enclosed the term in quotation marks (a pretty normal method of ensuring the words are searched as a single term) and I got... The same result; thousands of results containing "external". If fact, the word instrument is "ignored". Can we search longer terms? or that not an option... If not, seems it would seriously hamper the effectiveness of SEARCH.

David Nahmani Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 It's most likely that the word "instrument" is too common therefore it's being ignored. For these kinds of search, use Google and type the following inside Google's search field: "external instrument" site:logicprohelp.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 btw... does Boolean work? as in "external AND instrument"? (i neglected to try that... doh!) In the Logic search? You can see more expressions by going to the hamburger menu at the top left of this site and choosing "Search". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
