jargon Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 1) this all depends on what site you are searchin, make keywords differ from site to site. 2)Make sure you KNOW the keyword, and know the proper syntax of the keyword. 3)what site are you trying to do this on Resigned From Runescape - Alpha_120 --> Level 69 -ArenaScape-Join Clan UCORB ~ Rank #5 ClanClan members, need something?

Human_Clay Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 the site is this one. what i mean is at the top of the pages there is a search thing u can click on and after u click on it, it says: Search for Keywords: You can use AND to define words which must be in the results, OR to define words which may be in the result and NOT to define words which should not be in the result. Use * as a wildcard for partial matches and the feature i want to use is the "NOT" feature to search for posts. e.g. i want to search for posts without the word "selling" in it. what do i hav to type in order to do that?

Militaris Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 It should work like the other words.... For example if you want to search for Dragon Dagger but want to exclude the ones for sale. Search something like the following Dragon AND Dagger NOT Sell* NOT Buy* NOT Sale* The above gave me 613 matches. If I remove the NOT's and just search " Dragon AND Dagger " I get 695 matches.
