Limiting a search

[ka3jjz]

Is there any way to make a string that you search for more restrictive? As an example, I want to search the AOR forum for just DV-1 articles, but I always get the DV-10 mixed in. I tried putting DV-1 in double quotes, but that didn't work

TIA....Mike

Possibly "DV1" (with out the hyphen) I just tried it, seems to work.

It's all in the Art of Boolean Search techniques.

Nice try guys but that doesn't fly. Like I said, I tried putting the string in both single and double quotes (like the article suggests), but it still comes up with DV10 results as well as DV1 - understandable, in that the DV1 string is obviously similar to DV10. But it would appear that the forum doesn't use Boolean rules very well

Weird, just tried it again and it worked again. "DV1" including the double quotations.
