A Way To Do Phrase Searches In TORDEX Community Forum - RetiredEngineer - 01-12-2010
If you use the correct search restriction in Google, you can do phrase searches in the TORDEX Community Forum. Here's how to structure an example search.
Suppose you wanted to find the phrase "Windows 7". If you did a raw TORDEX Forum search, the Forum would strip off the "7" and return a huge number of hits on "Windows". Not the intended result.
However, on the Google search line, if you used
"Windows 7" site:forum.tsoftcentral.com
then you would get a small number of returns for the phrase "Windows 7".
Try out your own search phrases and post how successful this approach turns out. It worked for me, and I think it will work for you.

Thanks. That's a useful trick.

That is way cool, thanks! =D> Most forum search engines seem to have similar issues. Of course none can compete with Google. But I didn't even know you could specify the site in Google searches. That's what happens when we don't read the manual.
