Weird Search Results plus a request - 70 views

• 
  #1 Krissa Swain on 01 May 08

   

  When I search for a term in my group bookmarks, I get weird results sometimes. For example, when I search for "underground railroad" I get a list of 2 bookmarks with the count "1-5 of 5" at the top of the list. I know that I have several bookmarks that contain this term.
  
  Also a request - I'd like to know more about the search function's logic, so I can decide how to construct my searches. Should I use boolean terms? Wildcards? Quotation marks? Does full-text search also include sticky notes and comments? This info in the help section would be useful.

  I would like to know a little more about this as well. That way I could just type in the search I wanted instead of having to go into the advanced search window.
  
  And is there any way to exclude tags from a search? The more I use diigo, the more I find I need this--for instance, bookmarks from tag A but not tag B (ie, not also tagged B--to get a list of items tagged A, Tagged A and C, etc., but not A and B). The only option I can find in the advanced search is to exclude the word B everywhere--but I want some pages with the word B in them--just not if they are tagged B. Am I making sense?

  BUMB. Me too. also, the searchfunction related to e.g. diigo toolbar seems flawed as it doesn't report any instance of a "keyword" e.g. ToolKit whatever the upper- or lowercase spelling of the word in related bookmarks.
