Problem: Redundant Search Results
      #1245983 - 10/11/08 10:17 AM

When I do a search for a topic within this forum, often times I'll get 1000+ results. That's fine but the problem is 250 of those are often for the very same thread. *see attached screenshot*

How do I prevent this?

Thanks

Two things will help... using quotes around phrases and the '-' as in -re:

This will prevent all the replies from being listed...

Hints for searching.
