Searching Buildhub

[Triassic]

As the forum contents are added to day after day, I’m finding it harder to search and find previous discussions. Could someone share the best ways to search, either using the Buildhub search engine or an external search engine, such as Google or Firefox?

 

Could someone explain how and, or, +, and brackets work in a search?

I've found that the most effective way to search is to use a search engine, rather than the forum search facility, and just type your search terms with  site:https://forum.buildhub.org.uk at the end.  The usual boolean search characters then work (+ for must contain, - for must not contain, " " to enclose specific phrases, etc).
