I hope it is ok to post a question on forum search in "Android Questions", if not let me know where it should be posted.

Anyways, back to my original question. Is there a way to do a forum search on an exact phrase such as "Types do not match"? I thought I should be able to include the quotes " " around the phrase I am searching for and I would get only messages with an exact match. Unfortunately it ignores the quotes and I get back hundreds of results when I should be back only a few. I am spending way too much time wading through results that aren't even close to what I am looking for.

Any suggestions?

TIA

Google Search:

site:b4x.com -"Search Results" "Types do not match"

My searches are always so; I'm sure you will get the best results!

Also because you can exclude words / phrases (-"Search Results") and you can use logical operators (Type OR Kind) - they must be write upper case.

Of course, good old Google to the rescue.
I like your idea so much, I have created a bookmark in my browser with a default search criteria already filled out for b4x.com.
It works great! Thanks.
