How do I do a search for a PHRASE on this forum?

[tbryson2]

Perhaps I'm eat up with the dumbass, but I cannot figure out how to search for a phrase on this forum!

Forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place, didn't see anything more appropriate.

All I see under "advanced search" is "keyword", User Name" and "Tag".

Looking for the phrase; "Image file 'engine_art/engine_art_icon.tga' is incorrectly used as both a texture.txt source file and a raw image file" so I can attempt to fix one of my engines!

Thanks,

TB

Yeah, vBulletin's search feature is horrendous, to put it nicely. I think putting an exact phrase in quotes works. It definitely works if you search via Google. If all else fails, Google it with this format:

site:forums.auran.com "exact phrase"

I have tried quotes, but it still sees them as "keywords". Perhaps I'll try Google. Thanks for the tip!

I concur with RRSignal. Searching on vBulletin stinks.

I always use Google or Bing myself. Sometimes just putting in the phrase finds the forums here anyway. If not I use trainz: then the words I'm looking for, and that also finds the stuff most of the time.

Ok, I've given up on this task (on this website). Google did it in one stroke! Thanks all!

I use the same as RRSignal, in fact I have it bookmarked on the bookmark toolbar, not used the forum search for a couple of years now.

Have you solved it? If not I can help you with that one!

 

[tbryson2]

no, simply look for phrase on Google and it takes me to what I want. Works every time! If you have a solution for this website, please share.

thanks,
