Forum Search options (and recommendations?)

[tschock]

Thanks Leon, EK. I believe this is one of the threads I was looking for (but are there others?). At the same time, for a "newbie", it isn't obvious from the title of the thread. I think the search ability similar to what pops up in the FAQ search would be much better.

The real problem is that the MORE specific you get in your search, such as "T205 Piedmont White miscut", the MORE hits you get back when the opposite should be true. I'm not sure this specific search example would produce any hits using ALL words; it's just an example. Also the more "generic" the term is, the more weeds you get when stringing (somewhat) generic terms together, such with the example above. (Similar, but to the other extreme, with "rare" terms. Searching for "1928 Yuengling" you are better off just searching for "Yuengling".)

It seems like the search engine can handle it (base on the FAQ search ability). So why not "expose" that ability for general use? My 2 cents...
