The basics.
At the top of the forum page you will see two solid blue menu bars. Select the second, rightmost option is Advanced Search, and from there Show Threads, followed by Advanced Search. A menu box will pop up from which to select your sesrch parameters. See below.
You can search for posts or threads, and even for posts by specific members. I’d suggest experimenting a little and familiarizing yourself with various searches and their results.
You can select one, multiple or all open fora to search.
NOTE: Advanced Search doesn’t play well with search terms with three or fewer characters, or very common words. If I’m searching for thevterms 747 or changes, I’ll get an error page. I must force such searches by using quotation marks to enclose my search terms:
“747”
“changes”
Also note search converts all search terms to lower case. DYKWIA will actually search as dykwia, which would reveal both terms if they existed. No harm is done by using capital letters, but the capitalization is ignored.
Be sure to read the Wikipost at the top of the thread for further information, links to resources and alternatives to FlyerTalk Search.
