Searching for keyphrases

Fallout · March 21st, 2012, 12:57 AM

How do I make search query with keyphrase (series of keywords)? Let's say I wan't to search posts about city of New London, how do I get results that include "new london" in them, but not those with "new" or "london" only?

No one really knows that?

How about when I want to search info about english city of York, but avoid all posts about New York? "york -new" doesn't work.

Try throwing these into Google:

"new london" site:skyscrapercity.com

york -new skyscrapercity.com

To search a specific thread matching a series of word (phrase), enclosed it in double quote (" "). Like your given example New York, input this in search box "New York". And on the "Search by Keyword" field, select "Search Titles Only". The return result is it will show you all threads having your desired keyword in thread title. Now if you are searching for posts, just select "Search Entire Posts" and it will give you all posts matching your keyword exactly.
