    how to search both words?


    I want to search thread titles that have both the words WINDOWS and WRITER, I have tried different combinations such as

    windows+writer
    windows, writer
    windows&writer

    but I am not getting the results with both words in the thread title.

    any tips.

    Mod: I don't know if this is the right place to post this, please move it if I have posted in the wrong section, sorry about the inconvenience.

    I haven't fiddled with it. Have you tried WINDOWS and WRITER?

    you could use a different program i suggest "sadman software search" it has dual word searching, and it can search within files

    we're talking about search on this forum... not searching computer files if that's what you're talking about.

    Refine your search.

    Try searching this way:

    "windows writer" and
    "windows" AND "writer"

    Also, as smarteyeball suggested, refine your search to, for example, search specific threads, or search "show posts" instead of "show threads."

    Just in case you didn't notice we have two search functions on the site:-

    1. Standard vbulletin search - this has advanced search options but constantly gives very poor results (not worth using IMO).
    2. Google custom search - gives great results but doesn't have the advance thread title searching options (not really needed anyway).
