How the heck do I now search for multiple terms? I can no longer go "smash attack" and find instances of "smash attack" or whatever, but rather the quotation marks are now ignored and it searches for smash and attack.

on the search page it states:

Quote:
Place + in front of a word which must be found and - in front of a word which must not be found. Put a list of words separated by | into brackets if only one of the words must be found. Use * as a wildcard for partial matches.


so i guess you'd type
Quote:
+smash +attack

for it to search them both.

But is there not an "exact phrase" option?

That doesn't offer definite results though. I searched both "+smash +attack" and "smash attack", and recieved identical results, neither giving president over the phrase "smash attack". Since +smash +attack only ensures that both smash and attack must be found, and posts containing smash but not attack, and vice versa will be filtered out, unlike "smash attack" which would bring up posts with only smash (or attack) in it.

Searching +smash +attack will bring back results containing "smash and attack" for example, but they could be seperated by any number of words.

Sadly, I don't think there is any way to search actual phrases, only words.
