How to do advanced search?

Quote from Bean0 :Apparently theres a voodoo art to searching until some sort of options page is created...

Yes, gotta make something handy for that still.

In the meantime, here's some more voodoo :

Search options :

search for posts by username (you can use multiple to search multiple usernames)
user:<USERNAME>

search in post (thread) titles
title:<KEYWORD>

Keywords without one of these qualifiers will be searched in regular post texts.

Here are some (theoretical) examples :

Search in posts from a user :
user:victor wheel

Remember to put usernames with spaces in quotes :
user:"don Merino" wheel

Forgetting how to quote may still work fine :
"user:don Merino" wheel

Search username and title and post text :
user:victor title:wheel "calibration problem" solved

Search multiple users :
user:victor wheel user:drben

You can even be sloppy. These still work :
user:victor wheeluser:drben
user:victor wheeluser:"drben"bare

Thanks for the voodoo protips Victor.
Anyway right now if I do a search for Scawen's post, the today post (in patch test forum page 29) does not appear. Is it normal or is it some kind of search cache not up to date?
ok will have to keep an eye on that then. Will log the cron outputs to begin with.
OK cool. Same issue as the thread you quoted too.
Hi Victor, right now 5pm CET. The latest post from Scawen, this morning, is not showing up...
Fixed.
