    Keys to efficient search

    A suggestion: I think we could help the search engine search more efficiently by optionally using keywords, as is a regular practice in scientific papers.
    In the available options (Font, Size...) there could be a textbox called "Keywords" to be filled in by the thread starter with whatever words he/she deems relevant, maximum 4 or 5. For example, a post could have at the end a line looking like this:
    "Keywords: label.caption, ellipsetext, textwidth, fit"
    The serach engine could then have as an option "search keywords only"

    Does the search box allow for double quotes around some words, similar to what google does?

    Mendhak, use the serach function to find out about the search function...

    Why search when you're more than willing to do it for me?
