Is there a way to make 'Search Askville' searches more specific? For example?

I emphasize that i'm not asking about Web searchers such as Google; i'm asking, 'what (if anything) works in the "Search Askville" box?' Asked by LexWordsmith 30 months ago Similar questions: make 'Search Askville' searches specific Amazon > Askville.

1 No. The Search feature on Askville doesn't work to begin with, thanks to the thousands of non-question "Bonus Questions" the Askville PTB decided to flood the site with. There is no real search.

I understand you're not asking for it, but the serious answer is that a Web Search using Google's "site:" keyword will give you better results than the Askville Search box.

3 I will look forward to learning some new tricks with Askville here. I have never been able to use the search function within Askville with any kind of effectiveness. I have Google in one of my toolbars.So, I go to Askville's homepage and then "search only on the current website" (this may be the same as what MrItty just said).

I use plus-signs and quotation marks and minus-signs to hone in on what I want. E.g. , if I wanted to find this DB 9 mos from now, I would search for:+LexWordsmith +askville +search +curious7777777 .

Poppet* replied to post #4: 5 You have the option of where you want to search through the FF toolbar--enter a word or phrase and you can search thru Google, a Dictionary, Amazon, Yahoo, Flickr Tags, Wikipedia, and a lot more. Just click the one you want to use. It's nice to have one tool that does a multiple of things.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
