Before I post, I always check search to see if the answer is already there.. And more often than not, it is...... But..
It does my head in..
Tonight I was looking to see why my car does not have a service indicator. I found the answer many pages in. I had typed 'service indicator' and it was about 5 pages in, not bad, but why so many completely unrelated results before I found the result??
I then tried an experiment.... I noted the post title, the forum etc and tried again... It was 'No Service Indicator' in 'technical'... I filled out the fields in the search form and tried again, I tried a few different options but the best I could do was getting the result up half way down page 4... And that was puting in the exact title of the post...

What am I doing wrong? Is it my iPad? Whenever I see a newb posting a question that has been asked a dozen times I used to think they were filling up the forum with unnecessary posts, but maybe they have searched and found nothing.
I am not trying to be negative at all, but maybe sounding it, I just want to find things easier!

Put the query in double quotes to search for an exact phrase.
Use boolean for specific words to include or exclude, e.g. + and -

Works well enough for me. Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
