Boolean searching

Archive: 7 posts


I thought id ask if Is Boolean search enabled on LBPC? - it might just be me but, i'm finding it quite hard to locate information quickly and easily using the search function, many pages of threads.

I run a car club on vb 4, found that after enabling Boolean searching became much more beneficial..

Usergroups > Usergroup Manager > Usergroup
Scroll to "Forum Searching Permissions"

Most likely im not searching correctly, but thought I'd ask nonetheless.

Cheers!

vB's search isn't particularly good anyway. I'd recommend using Google, and just including "site:www.lbpcentral.com" in your search query, then you not only get boolean searching, but you can also search for words with fewer than four characters.

Why don't you guys just add a link to the google search under advanced search?

Well, looks like boolean search was already enabled, so if you found it less than "fantastic" then you just proved yourself wrong.

My understanding is that editing, moving and deleting of posts really screws up the vB indexing system...2011-03-23 19:07:00
