Search on reference problems
 

I am not able to search on references, such as 2-M-1.

I even pasted this reference from a post by Yoda, but it still doesn't appear. Quotation marks doesn't seem to make a difference.

So my suggestion is ..... to enable search on book references (surprise surprise):happy3:

How would I search for a phrase. "Homers Notes"

Daryl,
May I add that if an Admin. (bambam) answers.
Please include a listing or point to a listing of ALL BOOLEAN AND OTHER OPERATIVES for the Forum search function.

Thanks

Searching on 2-M-1 is problematic for our forum software because '-' is not considered a word character, instead it tells the search to exclude any results with the word following the -. I'm working on 2 things: a short term workaround for this issue and a long term replacement for our search indexer.

If you search for Homers Notes, that's the same as searching for Homer OR Notes. To search for that phrase you would put quotes around it. To search for Homer AND notes, you can type just that.

If you want all the nitty gritty details for our boolean search syntax, you can read through this page:

The last and probably most useful solution for this is google. We've opened up our forum so it's readable to the world, including google (I hear they're pretty good at this whole search engine thing).

Enter this at google, and you'll get pretty good results: "2-M-1" site:www.lynnblakegolf.com

Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ.

Wow, the Boolean search syntax works great. '"Homers Notes"'

I knew all this.

Thanks, Bambam. You're the best!

George Boole was a good friend of mine!

I knew a George Poole. His kid was nick-named "Puddle."

I wonder if Mr. Boole would consider this statement true or false?

Man, I thought I was a nerd! :) :) :) :salut:

I've worked with and managed top notch computer scientists since the mid 90's. I can assure you that there are very few people on this forum I would consider a nerd. :) GOLF nerds maybe, but not a nerd in the 'revenge of' sense. In fact, I think playing golf forfeits any real nerd street cred.

Bam Bam,
When KevCarter and I hit the dome, we are such golf nerds I would expect to see us with taped-in-the-middle glasses as well as our LBG Pocket Protectors.
We talk about the hinges and giggle. We point out our stationnary heads, our right elbow position, our flat left wrist and our finish swivels. We do a couple MacDonald drills gleefully and wonder why the heck those other guys are staring at us.

Come to think of it, does anybody play golf anymore or do we just go to the range and work on our machines?

They're not looking at your glasses. They're jealous of your compression. ;-)
