Techspot, Why???

[paranoid guy]

Here's a question. I wanted to search the forums for the words "quote of the day", but techspot won't use the words quote, of, the.
How do I stop this?

Just as you did in this post - enclose the whole of your term in quotation marks.

The only post you'll likely find is your own though.

Thanks

Thanks man.

 

[paranoid guy]

Aha, nope.

It won't work for just the word quote.

 

[Spike]

I would imagine it's because whenever the

vB tag is used, the word "quote:" is prefixed to the quoted text, and so the results it would turn up on its own would be useless.

 

[paranoid guy]

So...

So there's no hope?

 

[Spike]

depends - in what context do you need to use it - what are you searching for? something specific?

 

[paranoid guy]

Well...

There was this great post I read a while ago and it had a "Quote of the Day"
taken off a site on the internet. I can't remember who did it. I wanted to copy and paste the quote into bebo (I'd give him credit, obviously). All I can remember is quote of the day, and how good it was.

Just googled it and I'm afraid it doesn't seem to know of any such post on techspot, unless this is thew one you were after...

Woo Hoo!
Spike, if you were a woman I'd love you. But you're not, I think, so I'll just offer you a congratulatory handshake. Oh, and I'll give you credit too. Nice one. Thanks

lol! how do you know that? My chosen name may not nessecarily reflect my gender. lol Or I could just be kidding you. I guess you'll never know whether I'm a normal guy, a butch lesbian, or a "tom and jerry" cartoon character. That's the internet for you I guess.

LMAO.

No problem. happy to help.
