How to use search function

[NJBob]

How do you use the search function to search for two or more keywords. I want to search for word1 and word2. It seems to search for word1 or word2. Thanks

In search field
"Word1"+"word2"
Or if both words together
"word1 word2" or "word2 word1"
Or without space "word1word2"

How about "I hate my dealer"

I've had good luck with: +word1 +word2

Looking for December orders. I have tried the plus but it still shows posts with just orders. I am prob doing something wrong.

There could be difference between cat or +cat or "cat" or " cat " maybe to differentiate results found cat as separate word from part of another word (think whether it might return category along with cat). I have not tried search here using - function (think wanting results with "cat" that does not include "dog" but would include results for "rabbit".

Ok " December order " (note the 3 spaces) returns results for search but will not include orders due to the trailing space between order and the quote. If the s appears somewhere in the post the requested search without the s will be found. The highlighting only is done in the displayed portion but not in the extended text. If you want to include orders in search remove the 3rd trailing space. Note that " Dec order " should not be found if it shows somewhere in text the full spelling should be found once.
The +December +order +orders is for December Or Order being either/or search request. & Instead of + should return only those results containing both words in the entire text. The quotes with included spaces demands that the space is included at least once in said text. It is not easy to verify where the match is found unless using specially prepared test text field. One of the reasons it can take many hours to write a proper audited computer program. I will check specific words or phrases if you want.

Got it the quotes were the trick thought I had tried that. Thank you for educating me.
