Advanced Search

by CJ Chapman · in Site Feedback · 08/26/2011 (3:54 am) · 6 replies

Is there a advanced search of the site and forums? I can't find it anywhere. I search for a topic but the top ones it brings up are from 2002, Is there an advanced search that gives you options on your search especially so you can list by latest posts? The sticky says searching is horrible but that's from 2010. Its still not fixed? It makes the forums pretty much useless if I'm using Torque 3D 1.1 and all i can find is threads from 2002.

EDIT: Typing what I'm looking for + 2011 after seems to bring better results.

The sites own search is now superior to that.

@muzaheed can you give me some tips on google syntax? "2011" after my post seems to work decently but its not perfect.

@bloodknight how is the sites own search now superior to that? I must be missing something because all I see is you can search generally and you can't filter by date or other things.

I noticed when making this post it asked me if i wanted to add tags, is there a syntax here for searching tags?

What is it that you're searching for? Older threads may still contain the info you need, especially if the answer is based in TorqueScript.

I think what hes looking for has already been asked for, date sort, individual forum tabs that sort of thing

We are definitely looking into each of these. I will be upgrading the forum section shortly.
