Thanks, Shiri, but this actually does *not* answer my question.
Let me explain. :-)
The info at the URL you gave me, i.e., using plus signs in front
of the keywords, will guarantee that all results of the search
will have those keywords _in_ _any_ _order_. They do _not_
guarantee that I will find a specific _phrase_.
You can verify this for yourself. Enter the keywords
"+Lego +geek +code" into the Search black, and you will get
messages with the words "Lego", "geek", and "code",
in whatever order they appear. When I do this,
I see dozens of messages by someone who has a "geek code"
(_non_-Lego geek code, I point out) in his ".sig" file
(aka signature block). I would get the _exact_ same results
if I search using the keywords "+code +geek +Lego",
which is clearly _not_ the same _phrase_...
Todd? Is this function available? If so, how do I use it?
Thanks,
Franklin
