RedPath88 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 We've added a new feature to help you find more of what your after and less of what your not. It does not exactly make the search feature better (that is limited by its design), instead it limits where it can look for the information your looking for. There is a new listing in everyone's UserCP ("Settings" from the drop down menu in the upper right corner, next to your profile pic) Once in "Your Options" click the "Forums" tab. There you should see at the bottom of the left column, a new selection called "Block Forums" click it. Now by selecting one or more (hold down the CTRL button while selecting to highlight more than one) of the forums and/or sub-forums listed and clicking the "Block/Unblock Forums" button it will exclude all selected forums from your search results, both New Content AND regular/advanced searches. Yes I know it only mentions "View New Content" but it does BOTH, just keep that in mind Give this a try, if your searching for something and keep getting a bunch of unrelated material, try excluding the forums that material is located in and search again. It should refine your results 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Any improvement is a significant improvement, I think we all agree to that. Much thanks Red for taking the time to look this up, sort it out(thanks Adam) and post it. B Edited October 25, 2010 by Precise1 Learned something in the PoHo...
