New Search System supports AND / OR queries along with others....

[Dan]

Forum may lag a little while I'm installing a new search engine.

Once it's done I'll update this post with some commands you can use which will help you find content easier. A bit like the commands you'd use to search Google, eBay and Amazon etc.
Edit: It should be complete now.

Some search queries...

• + signifies AND operation
• | signifies OR operation
• - negates a single token
• " wraps a number of tokens to signify a phrase for searching
• * at the end of a term signifies a prefix query
• ( and ) signify precedence
• ~N after a word signifies edit distance (fuzziness)
• ~N after a phrase signifies slop amount

It's okay.

If it's something you've not found you have a problem with, just carry on as you are. This is something I've installed on all forums and the sparks actually requested it. So they seem to know how to use it.

Basically, the search system is better: Search - https://www.tilersforums.com/search/

If you put in Tile + Grout + Adhesive you will get different results than if you put in Tile | Grout | Adhesive

(The first one includes the three searches together, the second would search for threads that contain tile without the wording grout and adhesive in it).
