Title: Question about searching this BB
Post by: Mickey1992 on October 03, 2000, 09:31:00 AM

I wanted to search the Bug Forum for the word "ack".  So I go to the search form and search for ack (no quotes) and it returns way too many hits.  I find that it was returning partial hits like posts with the word "back".  I tried the search again with quotes around "ack", but then it doesn't return anything.

Anyone know how to search for a specific word and not get partial matches?

Hi Mickey1992,
This is a good one  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I puzzled over this because of exactly the example you have used.

The way around it that I have found is to put a "^" infront of the work ( ^ack )

Works for me anyway  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Snafu,
Thanks, that did it.

ps. Is North Warwickshire near Warwick Castle?  I was there once I think.

Hi Mickey1992,
 Warwick Castle is about 20 miles South from me, I am right at the North end of Warwickshire, 200yds from the boundary to Staffordshire (Next county north)  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
