searching the forums for an exact phrase doesn't work?

MessageAuthor

In other forums which are based on the vBulletin forum software i'm used to search for exact phrases using quotes. It seems it doesn't work here? I've just tried to search for a part of a text of a Reaper message: "There were 1 items in the project that were saved by extensions. If you save this project without those extensions installed, you may lose those extensions' data." I've quoted the part "saved by extensions". I've got a lot of resulting posts which contained "saved" or "by" or "extensions". I've expected posts containing just the whole phrase or no result at all. Single quotes don't do it either.

Same experience here, phrases don't seem to work, pitty (for new users especially). I've given up on the forum search function mostly and use the Google custom search instread.

Have you tried doing a search like this: +saved +by +extensions I can't guarantee it'll work but it's worth a shot. :-)

I use the 'Google site search' extension for Chrome to search this forum: Quite handy

What does that mean: There were 1 items in the project that were saved by extensions. If you save this project without those extensions installed, you may lose those extensions' data. I have done a fresh install and now I get this.

@richie43 : I guess you were in a bad mood. I'm sorry for the double post but I haven't seen any reports of people terribly confused or even injured by this error.
