Search thread titles only doesn't work

[rootsrat]

When "search titles only" option is selected in Advanced Search, the results returned seem to be for "search all posts" option regardless.

You can also ensure that google search results are limited only to the forums using the site keyword, such as:

site:forum.step-project.com <your search here>

Renamed threads won't be a problem. The title is updated in the database, and there is no record of the previous name to be matched against. The exception is moved threads with a redirect.

 

One thing to keep in mind when searching is that when you have multiple words in the search, results are returned that have at least one of the words in the title (search terms are OR'ed).

is there some way to create searches that require all terms vs. one?

Yes (sorry, I should have mentioned that in my last post).

 

If you want search terms to be explicitly required, put a plus(+) in front of them. You can also put a minus(-) in front of search terms to filter out results.

 

When doing a search on thread titles only, the following search returns only this thread:

+titles +search +thread

Extremely helpful, thanks s4n.
