Forum search help

[1ColdBeer]

Hi,
Is there any way to do a forum search of topic only? I've been trying to find help myself. Maybe i am missing something? (again)

I have a problem with a mouse and i would like to do a search that spawns topics with " mouse trouble" or "usb to ps2". ........ just mouse....

Any search tips will be helpfull.

Thanks

Apparently not, if I understand your question. However, I'm not real clear on just what the various search options do. There is a "Display Results As: Posts/Topics" option just above the "Search" button, which I have found useful. Try tinkering with it.

to search for "usb" and also "ps2", enter these to search

"usb and ps2"

the problem is, it could be "ps/2" or something else.

Hi,

"usb and ps2"
the problem is, it could be "ps/2" or something else.

I dumped the slash and that worked better, but if ya could just search the subject line it would be a snap to find the answers.

I'm not a phpbb guy, but i think there is a hack to carry the original subject line through the whole thread and another to add the "search subject only" option.

Is it just me that finds it hard to search phpbb forums without that option?
OK,.. I'm done now

I'm going to fix the mouse with X.org too.. (found with no / search)

Thanks

You can find hacks for the board at http://www.phpbbhacks.com

I'm not sure if that hack is there or not, but you an look.

when replying to a post, there is a subject line available; mostly we leave that blank. Would filling it in make any diff to Search?
