The search allows you to search for members and forum threads.

The member search covers firstname, surname and username. The thread search covers thread titles in the forums. Please note the forum search only searches active (open) thread titles and will return a maximum of 30 results.

To search input your search term in the box on the right and click search. The results will be shown broken down by section.

You can make the search more specific by using certain operators. Examples of these are included below.

'apple banana'
Find results that contain at least one of the two words.

'+apple +juice'
Find results that contain both words.

'apple*'
Find results that contain words such as “apple”, “apples”, “applesauce”, or “applet”.

'+apple macintosh'
Find results that contain the word “apple”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “macintosh”.

'+apple -macintosh'
Find results that contain the word “apple” but not “macintosh”.

'+apple ~macintosh'
Find results that contain the word “apple”, but if the results also contains the word “macintosh”, rate it lower than if result does not. This is “softer” than a search for '+apple -macintosh', for which the presence of “macintosh” causes the result not to be returned at all.

'"some words"'
Find results that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, results that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the ‘"’ characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotes that enclose the search string itself.
