Question/suggestion re searching forums

Post by larryp »

:?: I'm trying to find posts or threads related to LCD shields. I've been trying to search within the 65 pages in the "Glowy things (LCD, LED, TFT, EL) purchased at Adafruit" forum -- without success.

Both LCD and Shield are rejected by the search function as being too common. I tried quoting the phrase,
"LCD Shield"
but that similarly fails.

Is there a way to search for a phrase in forums?
-- other than scanning each of the 65 pages in that sub-forum?


If so, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd clue me (and others) in on how. And if there's no way, I suggest you consider adding a search for phrase function in your search or advanced search function. A possible, partial workaround would be to encourage moderators and users to put the part number in their first post to a product-related thread.

TIA,

LarryP
