advanced search question

Post by michaelbr »

According to the advanced search page, if I want to search for two words showing in the some page/posting, I need to put a + in front of the word, so I've put +replay +file, but the search result said file ignored, why? I've put + in front of it, what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for your comment/suggestion.

I'm not sure, but my advice is to just use google instead. I've always had better luck searching something like "wesnoth replay file" on google than searching "replay file" on the forums search.

The search will ignore terms that are considered "too common", so it might be that. Either way, using an actual search engine like google is a better bet in some cases.
