Advanced search will allow you to query the entire database of articles, comments, posts and other pages to find what your looking for. When conducting a query, at least one field must be selected. The query fields are:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Key Words | No | These are the key words you wish to search for, an example would be
"Free" or "Fun" (without the quotes). From the drop-down menu, you can select if search results should contain the exact phrase (exactly as you entered it), all of the words, or any of the words. Wildcards may also be used here. A "%" can substitute for zero or more characters while a "_" can subsitute a single character. |
