Answered Search function help?

Looks like I'm too damn stupid to use the search function correctly. When I try multiple words, there's often no hits when I think there should be.

Is there a doc on how to use search for more than just a simple word? (I looked, but apparently I suck at that, too)

Thanks, that's what I figured. Was hoping for something like wildcards, quoting or using boolean directives like AND and OR.

Maybe can clarify.

The current search is pretty dumb. I've been working on a new search engine for quite some time, but things got in the way.

Please be patient, it's closing the top of the todo list.

That's cool, man. There's always room for improvement but it's good to know what search can do, currently, and what it can't. Been maintainig a piece of software myself for the last 30 years and every time I dive back into the code I'm back to figure out what I wrote back then. Just saying. Keep it up, Justin couldn't ;)
