Search Tips Needed

[SevenFeathers]

How do I search for phrases? I have tried putting quote marks around the words, such as "I have tried putting", but then I get stuff with the individual words, such as "tried". Thanks for help.

Searching is always an art it seems. The forum will not look for words that are too short. It may be best to go to duckduckgo and just type: site:cassiopaea.org "my intended search phrase".

Were you looking for something specific?

My experience is that the search function on the Forum and to some extent on SOTT.net as well is not working really well - it's actually bad imho but I understand there are more important things to take care of so one needs to approach this as a quest, a learning process :). I use StartPage advanced search function, sometimes DuckDuckGo. Only when I know in more detail what to look for and where, I search in particular threads via the search button here.
