And, what is "Boolean Search?"

That's what I'm wondering too. lol

boolearn search is where you can specify that certain words are more important than others or to skip entries containing certain words. or if two words are to be consectutive. it goes with full text searching.

I guess I've never played with that feature. How would you do it?

www.mysql.com has a great documentation this. you would use a "+" sign in front of words you want to appear in a search and a "-" sign in front of words you do not want your results to include. example:
+vbulletin -.org
that would yield all results with vbulletin but no results containing .org

I like the idea of being able to search for phrases instead of just key words but for some reason I am not seeing the "red" code you're speaking of. I've looked at this thread with both "Firefox" on a Mac and IE on a PC and nothing is coming up red or any other color for that matter.

Hope that helps. Enjoy.

Ps.
It might make it a little better on you, Neutral Singh, if you add the definition of Boolean and Boolean Searching to your first post, that way you don't have to constantly explain. Good hack though, I didn't even know it existed in the form. Nice job.
