Why does the AnswerHub search not allow for phrases and common search operators?

If this is a support forum for software developers, shouldn’t the search interface be a bit more advanced?

  • No AND search (each additional word broadens your search)
  • No quotes allowed for phrases
  • No + operator
  • No documentation on this that I could find, either

Would it be possible for the Epic Games folks to enable search operators via the AnswerHub config?

Hey shornby -

Thank you for pointing this out. We are looking into seeing what we can do to add more functionality.

Thanks for the quick reply, Eric.

Here’s a helpful page from the devs at answerhub.com:

Apparently + and - characters can be used in a query. It would help if this could be stated somewhere near the search field!

Thx, S
