paranoid guy 02-25-2006, 04:48 AM 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? Spike 02-25-2006, 04:52 AM 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. Ad 02-25-2006, 04:52 AM paranoid guy 02-25-2006, 05:10 AM Thanks man. paranoid guy 02-25-2006, 05:12 AM It won't work for just the word quote. Spike 02-25-2006, 05:32 AM I would imagine it's because whenever the [quote] 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 02-25-2006, 05:48 AM So there's no hope? Spike 02-25-2006, 06:01 AM depends - in what context do you need to use it - what are you searching for? something specific? paranoid guy 02-25-2006, 06:24 AM 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. Ad 02-25-2006, 06:24 AM Spike 02-25-2006, 06:58 AM 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... http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic44469.html http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=inurl:techspot.com+%22quote+of+the+day%22&hl=en&lr=&filter=0 paranoid guy 02-25-2006, 07:04 AM 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 Spike 02-25-2006, 07:32 AM 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. :D LMAO. No problem. happy to help. :) Peddant 02-25-2006, 11:52 AM Oh, and I'll give you credit too. Nice one. ThanksI`ll take the credit too,thankyou. |
