Thanks in advance Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murbkoman Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Have you tried a site specific search? I just used topic searches site=community.diybeer.com as a search term in The Duck and it found, among others, this topic. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=topic+searches+site%3Dcommunity.diybeer.com&atb=v35-5a_&ia=web Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 You can filter the search on here to search for the phrase as a whole rather than the individual words. For example, I was looking for the kegging time thread recently, and when I typed in kegging time it found every topic with either the word kegging or time in the posts in them. But when I changed it to search for that particular phrase, the thread I was looking for was the first result that came up. I think the search function on here now is much better than it was on the old site. Cheers Kelsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found what I was looking for straight up after I filtered. Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
