Hi Tony ( and Trevor ),
I mostly have only heard similar about the vBulletin software search utility. All my experience suggested it was a pile of wank. I got no satisfaction from it.
Then a while back I got involved in a few Threads about it.
I found it was not too bad in some things.
I have never seen any decent documentation on it.
I did not even notice that there was an Advanced Search, ( Hit the magnifying glass to get that here at ExcelForum *** )
I find it very efficient and essential in finding my own stuff.
I think it might be a thing that because of the crap documentation on it you just have to practice and after a while get a “feel” for it. I get good results out of it, but am not sure exactly how, a bit like effective googling, - after a while you get a sixth sense on knowing what to type. The search software mentality seems to get understood deep in the back of your mind .. ...., - a bit eerie really. Quite worrying. Maybe better not to use it now that I think about it...
