How can I search the forum for an exact phrase, example, "gui command list"?
I tried quotes, advanced search, etc. but none return only posts that have the phrase that is inside the quotes.
Thank you for your help.

Garry,
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, my question was "How can I search the forum..."?
In other words, I want to search THIS FORUM for an exact phrase, if possible.
For example; "gui text color" (text within the quotes) and only get posts that have that exact phrase in them, not every post that has gui, text or color in it.
Thank you for your reply.

BoBo,
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, using google missed 98.4% of the posts in my quick test.
Test example, "gui" using the forum's search returns 14,393 posts, using google (site:autohotkey.com "gui" language:en) returns only 231 posts about 1.6%.
I was hoping there was a way to use the forum's advance search but it appears advance search just ignores quotes and I have no idea how to format the search so it will only find posts with a specific phrase.

Re: Searching Forum
I think exact search is useless ( autohotkey help was ok for me ) or learned from users script
... "gui text color" (text within the quotes) and only get posts that have that exact phrase in them ...
Code: Select all
Gui,2: Color, Black
Gui,2:Add,Text, x10 y10 w40 vT1 cGray
