How do I search TalkBass?
The built-in forum search for TalkBass will search for ALL of the words you enter in ANY order. There is no way to use “+” or “-” operators, or a “PHRASE MATCH” search, or wildcards (*) with the built-in search engine. Also, note that search results may not be in a perfect order by date. It will be close and fairly chronological (unless you sort your results by “relevance” rather than “date” in advanced search options). If you want to use complex operators (like you can with Google), use the TalkBass Google Search! With the Google Search option, you can use any operators like + or – and “total phrase matching” with quotes, and wild cards (*), and any other Google search tricks. Remember, an Advanced Search will likely give you the best results, if you for example select “search thread titles only” and limit your search to a specific forum!
