I have set minimum word length to 3 (was 4)
and you can now also use boolean full-text searches.
<UL><LI><SPAN class="time">apple banana</SPAN><BR />Find posts that contain at least one of the two words.<BR /><BR /></LI><LI><SPAN class="time">+apple +juice</SPAN><BR />Find posts that contain both words.<BR /><BR /></LI><LI><SPAN class="time">+apple macintosh</SPAN><BR />Find posts that contain the word “apple”, but rank posts higher if they also contain “macintosh”.<BR /><BR /></LI><LI><SPAN class="time">+apple -macintosh</SPAN><BR />Find posts that contain the word “apple” but not “macintosh”.<BR /><BR /></LI><LI><SPAN class="time">+apple ~macintosh</SPAN><BR />Find posts that contain the word “apple”, but if the row also contains the word “macintosh”, rate it lower than if post does not. This is “softer” than a search for <SPAN class="time">+apple -macintosh</SPAN>, for which the presence of “macintosh” causes the post not to be returned at all.<BR /><BR /></LI><LI><SPAN class="time">+apple +(>turnover <strudel)</SPAN><BR />Find posts that contain the words “apple” and “turnover”, or “apple” and “strudel” (in any order), but rank “apple turnover” higher than “apple strudel”.<BR /><BR /></LI><LI><SPAN class="time">apple*</SPAN><BR />Find posts that contain words such as “apple”, “apples”, “applesauce”, or “applet”.<BR /><BR /></LI><LI><SPAN class="time">"some words"</SPAN><BR />Find posts that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, posts that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the ‘ <SPAN class="time">"</SPAN>’ characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase.<BR /><BR /></LI></UL>
