Hi,I'm having trouble searching...

Let's say I want to search for a Walmart coupon that is $5 off $25.

I tried just typing in walmart 5 25, but it found posts with only the word walmart.

I tried putting it in quotes, like "walmart 5 25" but that did not work.

So, I want to search for posts with all three things, walmart, 5 and 25. How do I do that?

I have been searching for a thread. I think it was called (What did you get in the mail today) I can't seen to locate it anywhere. Does anyone have any idea how I go about finding it. I was once subscribed to it, but now I can't find it. Please help me if you can. :shrug7:

Thanks but that's not exactly what we meant. Using this method will bring up posts that have been identified by the web crawler but not posts that have not been crawled yet.

We would like further instructions on how to use multiple terms on the HCW search feature. Do we use operators such as quote marks, + or - signs, and/or. Also how to excludes certain terms, such as include 5/25 but exclude CVS

i tried to use the search feature and wanted to find all threads that shared a common word. but when i type in the word and hit go an error page always comes up why?:shrug7:

I get that too with the drop down search, but usually advanced search works.

Unfortunately the search for our software is not that great. We have a new search feature on our to-do list.

one of the reasons you might be getting an error is that the search term you are using is too short or too common.

When i enter something in the " search " tool.. for exmpl " how many coupons " - trying to find topics or threads with that " how many coupons can you put in an envie.. etc..
any think i put in the search, just brings me to a blank page- nothing no error , no search results- just a blank page..:shrug7:

[queenofthehivemomof5]

like I said before our search feature is not all that great, and the search term "how many coupons'' is too generic for it pull any results.

But, to answer your question, 50 coupons is about how many you can fit in an envelope and pay with a first class stamp. Provided that they are not heavy coupons like on cardboard.
