(I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate topic, but a search for Motel M yielded every post with either the word "Hotel" or the letter "M" which is very nearly every post in the forums.)
Tyrus,
Thins board one one key limitation, and that's the search function. We cannot search for a phrase, or group of words in a particular order, such as "Hotel M", the search returns posts/threads that contain the keywords but not in any particular order.
But there's a way to search more effectively. Here's a hint:
If you are looking for something that is more than one word, type in the keywords in the search field and make 2 changes under
Search Options:
-check
Search for all terms
-check
Display results as Posts
This will only return individual posts (not threads) that contain all your keywords, not just one or the other. So you won't have to read 12 pages of the threa to find the one post that contains your keywords.
You can also further weed out the relevant posts by selecting the appropriate forum under Search Options. In this case, you would probably try "Hotels, Resorts, ..."
With "Hotel M", these hints don't work because M is only one letter and many words contain it. If we had a better search feature it would make the board better.
