    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.

    Cedric - I sound like a chipmunk on there. Some friends of mine were like, "were you going through puberty?" I was like, no I was already 20, I just sound like a girl.
