Stupid Question - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

-- Anecdotes, Gripes, & Humor

-- Antennas

-- CAE, CAD, & Software

-- Circuits & Components

Hey everyone... how do I search for more than one word in other posts, so that it returns only posts with those two words?

Greetings Gentumemimb:

Your question is far from dumb. I take responsibility for the Search function not working properly. When I upgraded the forums to PHPBB3, I never re-ran the search index function on the database, so only words from posts beginning in February were included in the index.

You should be able to do a successful search now. Just type in the words you want to find.

Example: amplifier filter

That will get you all the pages on which both amplifier and filter appear.

I apologize for the oversight.
