Sometimes I want to search for a short phrase -- often, actually. ![]() As I did in that paragraph. enclosing the phrase is quotes is a way of joining the words into a unit, and one that is in common use in search. Can we join the club? ![]() |

Can we join the club? ![]() 1st - Shouldn't this be in "Forum/Site Suggestions and Bugs" instead of "Off Topic"? Your request gets my vote. This has always made a joke of the search function. Since the search ignores ALL 2-letter words it is impossible to search for Gu Li, for example. 2nd - Until this is done, the best alternative is to try Code: "difference game" site:Lifein19x19.com in Google or your favorite search engine. In Google make sure to go to the bottom of the results page and rerun without any omitted results!

Indeed, several years ago I pretty much stopped using the search feature on most sites, because Google using ez4u's method nearly always does a better job. |
