Any advanced searching syntax?

Is there any syntax we can put into the search box to narrow our results? With more than 100 pages of posts in the General Discussion sub-forum, it’s getting really hard to find the thread I remember seeing, but don’t remember the exact title of…

Some search engines have syntax like +requiredTerm, “whole phrase”, title:keyword that aren’t always exposed in a nice UI, but I wasn’t able to find any information if there was anything similar for the GW2 forum search.

Searching the full text of every post is really getting me down – I know it isn’t returning all possible results and looking for the thread someone made with tips for making gold really returns a lot of unrelated stuff.

I really appreciate the effort that the moderators are making to keep the forums clean, and a more robust search feature will make it possible for the community to help keep the number of redundant threads down.

Hi there, Pandemoniac.

What you suggest makes naturally a lot of sense and we will forward it to the forum team to see if we can get some new features implemented.
