PureBasic Forums - English

These forums currently only allowing searching of posts by full text, and
not by topic title only. This can lead to lots of unwanted matches when
doing a search for a title. People have requested that the forums be
updated to the latest phpBB version, or to have the search by title
option enabled, but nothing has been done so far.

So, what to do? Use Google!

Open www.google.com and enter your words in the search box like so:
In the above example, all posts with "beta is out" in their title are shown.
Here's an actual example URL that the above search produces:

http://www.google.com/search?q=allintit ... english%2F

Note that ALL words must be found for a match to be generated, but that
is the default search option in these forums anyway.

Enjoy your new searching capabilities!

Very handy - thanks

allintitle is good, I prefer the quote method. in quotes it looks for exactly that text in that order...

allintitle could return : My beta software is knocking me out etc.

"beta is out" site:http://www.purebasic.fr/english/

> in quotes it looks for exactly that text in that order

Yep, if that's what you need. Good addition to the tip.

But don't forget to add "allintitle:" to the search box, or you'll get results
from the body of posts, which is not what this thread is discussing.

I was wanting to run this

allintitle: len site:http://www.purebasic.fr/english/

for quite a while when I first joined as I was seeing perf problems in my apps. Theres no way to do this without some kind of title search. I'm sure I'll need it again

This gets 8 hits in google and 2223 hits on the forum search

THANK YOU !!
