Re: new super search

If you're content with defining the word on as the four characters space-oh-en-space, you can search for it using something like:

; on ;

(semicolons included) Then set the default string separator to a semicolon. Thats how I've used it anyway.

That doesn't work. I get "question" and "one" and all sorts of things. I want just the word "on".

Seems to work for me... Do you see this text on the results page?

where any text contains " on"
written by any of merlyn

I checked the first ten results and they all contained the word on. What results did you get that matched "question" or "one"?

-Blake

[merlyn]

No, I can't get it to do that. I set "-on-" and typed "-" in the box next to "as spaces", and tried both settings for the radio button (which I still don't exactly understand, even though tye referenced a somewhat useless node about it).
