Why have you got rid of the 'exclude' option Confused

Hello. And yes, sorry.

We were trying to line up Advanced Search on the mobile site with Advanced Search on the regular site - and, er, some bits got 'lost' in the changeover. Blush

Choose Topics and exclude have now been put back and will go live as soon as we do the next code release.

And, Valpollicella, we are looking at the quote marks/+sign thing...

@PaperView: You can just use the "Include the words" box for your search query, and ignore the other fields, and it will behave as a simple search.

Hi all,

Apologies for not answering properly earlier, it's been a bit of a rushed morning.

Search by topic and word exclusion is due to be re-added at some point soon, hopefully we won't need to keep you guys waiting too much longer for this to come in.

+words, -words and "exact search" are harder to implement, but there's a project on the boil that may make these a possibility in the future. Do watch this space. Brew
