Is there an advanced search function? When I search for key words (e.g. acacia) I get all sorts of irrelevant threads that contain mention of acacia in passing. No rank order associated with whether the keyword is in the subject line, or anything like that. Mostly non-useful information. Pages and pages and pages.

Is there a way to search in a more focused manner on this site?

When I get frustrated with the search function, I reflect on all the times I have read that a new member seeking information or asking a specific question gets the hollow reply, "do a search."

As far as I can tell, that's about the worst reply you can offer to a new member.

Not sure if you are ticking the search title only Box? But occasionally I tick it and get a more focused search.

bingo.

I have always just started typing and I never allowed that window to open so I never saw that option (or at least, I never noticed it).

Thanks, Moke.
