fiorelli Report post Posted February 12, 2009 Trying to search for 'Ed Psych', or 'Eye tracking' or eye test or AS or ASD or NT or NAS would be so much easier and bring up a more detailed search than say - psych, or tracking, test or (how many people actually write asperger syndrom, or autistic spectrum disorder, or neuro-typical, or national autistic society, or the full word of the many, many abbrieviations that are used on this forum. I understand that if the most common words 'The', 'And', 'it', 'or' etc are seached for it would bring up every single post, but just putting a " " around the phrase you are searching for would solve that (in theory).

Kathryn Report post Posted February 12, 2009 I agree that this aspect of the search engine is frustrating but I don't know if anything can be done. Lufty, Kris, can the search facility be changed to accommodate 3 letters or less, or specific terms such as ASD, AS etc? K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K x The only problem that I can see with specifically searching for AS is that it will come up with all the results from messages with the word as in as I don't think it differentiates between AS and as.
