    How to search for threads containing "xml" in the title?

    I want to search for threads containing "xml" in the title, but it seems that the length of the search keyword must be greater than or equal to 4.

    Use Google, it won't search specifically in the title but it will give you results.

    Thank you, Eduardo. If we can search for "short keywords" within vbForums, it will greatly improve the accuracy of the search.

    My idea is that "short keywords" searches only apply to thread titles.

    I never use the forum search feature, I always use Google with site:vbforums.com keywords

    I agree vbforums Search needs improvement.

    When doing your site:vbforums.com search, is there a way to restrict it to the VB6 Codebank ?

    Try

    site:vbforums.com intitle:vb6 intitle:xml

    in Google.

    I'm not sure why forum search feature returns different results then "native" google searches.

    cheers,

    I guess adding 'VB6 Codebank' to the keywords.

    Hi wqweto, your method does make search results more accurate. Thank you very much.

    But I still hope that vbForums could improve its search function.
