I think it runs a query on the lines of I'm not sure how you could do that here. I think the Verity Supersearch does accept boolean expressions but that searches message bodies not titles. |

There might arguably be some point in being able to filter out certain people's posts, so people didn't have to scroll past them, if they knew they woudln't wish to read them, but when it comes to thread titles, the most effective and flexible filter is surely yourself. I've discovered that, unless you actually click on the thread title, they never seem to open. Doesn't it work like that for everyone? |
