Forum / Wiki Search Technique/ Feature Request

Hello all’

The TD learning experience is very dynamic, and everyone does things a little differently so I, (like I assume most beginners) learn mostly from forum running.

For advanced users this may not apply, but I repeatedly find myself just needing a quick syntax example so that I can get mine right. and the search lets me down because it does not honor quote searching for full strings like google does.

For example, If I wanted to search for forum posts for examples on importing os as a python module I cant just put them in quotes like this: “import os” to get that as a single string… It treats it the same as +import +os so I get mostly “import” in the title etc.

The advanced search feature does not have the full string feature either.

The same goes for the wiki… so I guess im asking if I am missing anything here about search syntax, if not, I propose we upgrade this sites search functionality.

I also want to add that a period in a string does not carry either … so if I search :

os.remove or parent().par.h
or anything like that it seperates the strings in search.

Excellent idea
