"Special Brigade"

(including the " " ) in the search box and it should solve your problem

I have recently tried the ‘Search’ facility to locate posts on the ‘Special Brigade’ of the Great War. But when I type in both words together, the results which come up are of posts containing both of these words but in separate sentences, which is not what I am looking for (example below).

So I then tried placing the words within inverted commas like this: “Special Brigade”, but this only produced similar results to my first search.

Is there a way of searching that pinpoints the exact combination of words being sought?

With thanks,

Wooffy,

Thanks for your replies. This I have already tried, but it seems not to be effective. Am I perhaps missing something obvious?

Ah yes, perhaps I am. Thinking about it, I wonder if in the absense of any possible results (if the phrase does not actually exists within any forum thread) the alternive results are presented in lieu?

Which would mean the desired results would be produced if such a phrase were available. It's the absence of the phrase within forum threads that is producing the lack of success, rather than the actual search method employed.

You got me to use my laughably meagre grey matter where I otherwise wouldn't have. Thank you

JT
