    Search Option Help Here!

    I just thought I'd try something and it worked! So I'm telling everyone.

    If you want to find a particular post and you know several words in that post, make sure to put a + sign in front of every word in your search.

    For example, if you want to search for a post that contains the words "snake" "bite" and "sister", without the plus sign, you'll get 12 pages of posts, every post that contains ANY of those words.

    But if you put a + sign in front of the words, you'll get only posts that contain ALL 3 words.

    So, a search for snake bite sister will give you all posts that contain the word snake, all posts that contain the word bite and all posts that contain the word sister. But a search for +snake +bite +sister will give you only the posts that contain all 3 words. 

    Woo-hoo, huh?
