Using qualifiers in Advanced Search

[Jux]

I vaguely remember MNHQ once saying that you could use the usual qualifiers. I have just tried searching using - and NOT but get a message saying an error occurred.

Is there a list of qualifiers you can use, anywhere?

No, Advanced Search doesn't respond to qualifiers at the moment, though it is due a bit of an overhaul at some point in the future.

You might find you get better results from a qualified search using the Google Search box at the top of the page.

OK, thanks.

Um, is that the one with the magnifying glass in it, by My Mumsnet? Didn't know that was a google search.

Yep, that's it.

Oooh - if you're overhauling advanced search can you also make it so that the button is available from the standard search results page. Sometimes I will use standard search, end up with far too many results so decide I need to do advanced search and the bloody button isn't on that page...if that makes sense...

please pretty please?

Yes, we'd grrrrr'd at that, too. It's on the list

Oh, and can you make it so you can refine the search you've just done?

And categorise the topics so you don't have to scroll for hours through a million Locals before you get to Style & Beauty?

I have more demands suggestions! Like could we search on two nicknames at once? Or search I'm On and a specific poster? (I'll shut up now )
