Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to search on more than one word on this Q&A? I know I can type more than one word in the search box, but that does an OR. What I need is an AND, so I'll only get search results that contain both (or more) words.

regards.

Hi, Miguel - 

I agree the search capabilities from within the Community web site could be better.

What I typically do is use a conventional search engine, but include the "site:" option. For example, to search within the Appeon Community for the keywords "edit", "mask", and "format", I will use [your preferred search engine here] and enter:

    edit mask format site:community.appeon.com

For documentation searches, I use:

    site:docs.appeon.com

I hope this helps you find what you are looking for!

Best regards, John

I do same thing as John.... use Google and limit scope of the search to site:community.appeon.com. Google has indexed all the Appeon Community pages. Even if the "AND" is possible using the website search, I still find Google way better at finding most relevant hits.
