Search Feature of the Board - Query Synthax

[lovallee]

Hello,

I am trying to understand the query synthax of the search feature of MrExcel message board...

I want to search for the following:
A message that includes all of the 2 following caracters suits:

Evaluate("
&



How can I do that?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, this isn't really possible with the board's search function.

It will find the word evaluate, but not in a formula setting for the majority of the hits it will return. Searching the site with Google produced the same results.

You would be better off trying to search for keywords that would apply to your problem rather than attempting to search for a formula.

+evaluate +amp;

Returns stuff.

Ooooooo...a sneaky little trick I wasn't aware of.

What's the plus sign do?

You like?

I believe it's like adding a parameter to the php query.

Isn't the + sign equivalent to using AND?

The madness to the method has been revealed!
