AND OR NOT and regexp in the search bar


Dear All,

How does one use logical operators such as AND and NOT in the LQ search bar? I've tried entering e.g. "Gentoo AND Radeon" only to get a whole lot of articles on either Gentoo OR Radeon, which is useless.

Apologies as this is bound to have been asked before, but alas I can't find previous discussions. Besides, you're bound to know the answer so it"ll cost you very little time to answer it again!

Regards, Fischbein

You can use logical operators. Keep in mind that the default is to search threads, so radeon and gentoo may be in different posts. You can change that behavior in the advanced search.
