Advanced Word Search

When using the UCP search engine are there any special characters that can be used to improve a word search.

For example if I want to search for “slip angle” the search engine looks for any post with either “slip” or “angle”. Is there a way to define “slip angle” exactly such as with a “+” or “-“ etc.

And it gets very very very annoying when you can't search for anything below 4 letters. In most cases 5.

I think putting the words in quotation makes as you would in google works.

The results still include "slip" and "angle" separately.

Indeed, it highlights either word whenever it appears, but I think that you'll find that all the threads given in the search contain the phrase slip angle.

Agreed, it does return satisfactory results. I was just wondering if there were any advanced commands out of curiosity.
