If I search for "no sound" it returns all with "sound" this is not usefull.
So I can not find known issues.
Maybe there is a query syntax to support this. but i could not found the exact syntax.
The common syntax "double quotes" did not work.

Re: [Forum] Search returns too much results
That is not a bug.
Re: [Forum] Search returns too much results
The smallest word the forum accepts is 3 letters. And indeed, there is unfortunately no advanced search syntax as "between quotes", or -unwanted or stuff.

There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.
Re: [Forum] Search returns too much results
One of my first posts on these forums came from a search that returned no results. It still makes me chuckle: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=62504&hilit=train
My own personal Factorio super-power - running out of power.

No unfortunately not. "no-sound" returns 252 pages with articles containing "sound". This is not helpful."-" should work.
phpbb seems to be not the best choice in this case.
...some time later...
For others having the same prob. google does its job
"no sound" site:https://forums.factorio.com/
returns 86 results containing "no sound"

Never tried that before, but using this search string (with just one "https://"!) with duckduckgo also works. No need to google everything.Kuxynator wrote: Tue Oct 27, 2020 7:56 am For others having the same prob. google does its job

A good mod deserves a good changelog. Here's a tutorial (WIP) about Factorio's way too strict changelog syntax!
Re: [Forum] Search returns too much results
Yes of course only one https(with just one "https://"!) with duckduckgo also works. No need to google everything.![]()


Re: [Forum] Search returns too much results
So using google search is the only way to search for a string that might contain special characters like the '-' or '_'.
such as:
site:forums.factorio.com "create-blueprint-item"
This worked for me. I am too lazy to type the other characters.
