Doug, as there are quite a few duplicate requests for info, is there any chance of getting the author of the BB s/w to include a phrase search capability? ANDing doesn't work all that well.

Putting your search in quotes can help, but there's a restriction that no search term can be less than 4 letters. That's not a limitation of the software, it's user settable, but each increment creates an exponential increase in serverload.
Searches are not realtime (ie: it doesn't actually search every message each time), rather it creates a running index which is what actually gets searched. Currently the index does not include words less than 4 characters. Knowing this can help finetune your search.Learn by teaching

You wouldn't believe the number of times I've tried to figure out a way to get around the 4 letter limitation. EFT filters were one of the ones I really had trouble searching for. I couldn't get it to recognize anything past the EFT for an error either. It can get frustrating sometimes.

With too many companies gaming google, it's getting to be near useless, particularly if you're looking for anything software-related. Try searching for a type of software, as opposed to a specific title, and you're inundated with useless sites touting "best X" or "top 5 X".

Doug, couldn't you get Google to act as the site search engine? The university I work for uses it very successfully. The 4 letter minimum word length on RP's search engine is really irritating.02-13-2003, 11:31 PM

From time to time there have been posts on RP about searching the web and also questions about where to find information. Well I came across this beta search engine that is different in its approach. It is called "ZUULA". I like to think of its approach as "tab searching". ...05-09-2007, 07:47 AM
