Idea Another "Search" Method

I love all the added extras that the admins have added to the AFC website lately , like how you can now specify tags to a post and you can find that particular post by performing a tag search. I think wherever we can, we should all practice putting tags on our posts so that other AFCers can locate posts easily!

Recently, I started a thread on the boards, asking if anyone knew how to search for phrases because none of the usual search operators (+, *, etc.) seemed to work ~ so for example, if you were looking for "smart rinse," then the search function would bring up every post that had the word "smart" or the word "rinse" in it.

Well today, it occured to me that there is kind of a way to search for phrases that has actually come about with the "added extras" that have recently been included to the site, and that is by starting a new thread and typing in the phrase that you are looking for in the title and then simply tabbing. This then brings up all posts that have "similar" titles so that you don't duplicate a post. So, assuming that every original thread poster is specific in their title as to what their post is about, you should hopefully pull up what you're looking for or close to what you're looking for. This again is another good reason that we should all also be as specific as possible in our post titles

Hope this was useful for anyone who has ever searched for a post
