Search options

I was wondering if it is possible to have the option to only search thread titles (as used to be the only option to search).

Sometimes I'm looking for a thread and I'm not sure what it's called anymore, I just know 1 or 2 keywords. When I search for those words I get a shitload of posts and I'm unable to find what I'm looking for.

EDIT: sorry, just noticed mielr already asked the same.
Fez: I am so excited about Star Whores.
Hyde: Fezzy, man, it's Star Wars.

I second this request. Just noticed it today. Maybe have these options (amongst others) in an "advanced search":
- Search thread title by keyword
- Search thread title by author

It also seemed that when I searched "This Forum", the results were actually across all forums.

Thanks!

There will be advanced search capabilities in the future.

What did you search for, and in what forum?

Let's see...

Clicked on the "FORUMS" button in the upper left, and clicked "Star Wars Fan Edits and Preservation Efforts". Then typed "adigitalman" in the Search field, kept the drop-down set to "This Forum", and hit SEARCH.

Results come from pretty much all forums.

That's because ADigitalMan posted in the new forum announcement topic, and that topic is posted in every forum.

Okay. But then only the one that was in the "SW Fan Edits..." forum should've shown up, right?

I'm totally confused right now. I need that little swirly-eyed emoticon guy!

EDIT: Looks like it is working now. Only shows results in the "SW Fan Edits..." forum. Cool.

But your thread got 6 replies, and mine got ........zero! LOL!

 

Aside from the problem of not being able to do a title-only search-

I've also noticed that you can't to a phrase search (meaning the linking of two or more words with quotes like "best anamorphic edit", for example) in order to narrow down the results. It actually seems to have the opposite effect- instead of getting results for one word individually, you get results for all three words individually- thus tripling your already too-numerous results. :-/

So.....yeah, some improvement on that front would be much appreciated. :-)
