The search function has really improved since the launch of the community.

Is there a way to search for multiple specific strings? E.g. "this is a string" & "this as well"

Hi @mfranz ,

Thank you for your response, your feedback is greatly appreciated!

There are a few ways to search for multiple specific strings. For example, using "#" and "AND" will allow for a multi-criteria search:

# content AND source AND dynamics (Find documents that have all three keywords in them: "content", "source", and "dynamics".)

To search for exact words or phrases, use quotation marks to specify the exact word you would like to see returned:

# "recognise" (This search will ignore documents that have "recognize", "recognized", "recognised", "recognization" and other forms of "recognise".)

For any further questions, please refer to this article for more information.

Thanks, that's really helpful.

The trick seems to be to leave the standard search empty and consequently use the advanced search. Otherwise results are a mix of both.
