This forum's search function not working?

Post by Roger Seiler »

If I click above on "Search", then select FWH forum and enter a search term like "html help file" or "help files" or "chm help" (without the quotes) and then launch the search, the result is a list of ALL FWH forum postings. I can't seem to get a list of only postings that mention my search words.

What am I doing wrong?

Roger,
You have to select the radio button "Search for all terms".

Roger,

To search for several keywords you have to use AND:

help AND files

html AND help AND file

Also OR and NOT can be used

I was surprised at the post because I use Search all the time ...

In fact, sometimes I find an old post of mine on a problem that has come up again ... and I forgot the solution ...

It must be the passing years between the ears !
