The search function of the forum doesn’t work properly. It does bring up some useful posts from time to time, but searching for an exact phrase doesn’t seem to work. I noticed this several times. Here is a simple test

Search for "With or Without You". No results found ??

Here is a post with that exact phrase but doesn’t come up in the search !

@optiplex: I quite agree. the search feature on esato has degraded slightly, and finding the right article is next to impossible. Infact the more number of posts in a topic the more difficult it is to find it! :-S

Er...do yo folks follow the syntax given on the search page itself telling how to search for a specific word by adding a "+" prefix?

Yes, I went through all syntaxes. I'm more concerned about searching for an exact phrase. Adding + only tells that a specific word must be there, it doesn't mean that the words should be in the order they are specified in the search string (exact phrase).
