This probably sounds stupid, but I just cannot figure it out. How do you people use the search engine here when you want more than one keyword to be matched? No matter what I do, I always get "OR" behavior, never "AND". Somehow it occurs to me that this problem started after the "big crash", but I cannot say for sure. Thanks in advance for any hints.

Use google and set the site to head-fi.org.

Right, that works but I don't consider it optimal. You lose all the nice features of the native head-fi search, such as sorting, thread/post displaying etc.

Only contributing members have the "AND" search. The rest of us are stuck with "OR", if you don't use the Google search.

"Word#1 AND Word#2" seems to work for me.

And since this is precisely what does not work for me, then dkjohnso must be right.

What an interesting policy! I didn't notice that before.

I didn't know that!

If you head over to the contributions page, activation of the boolean search is listed amongst the perks of membership.

I will have to become a member soon, since this new policy has greatly reduced the usefulness of the search feature for me.

Oh, I saw that boolean feature last time I checked the contributions.

Unfortunately, I had no idea that "boolean" was even a word, much less what it meant.

 

[plainsong]

true or false, yes or no, this or that. Boolean means it's yes or it's no.

If I have a daughter, I will name her Boolean or Montelle. If I have two daughters, I will be ecstatic.
