Who was the girl in the latest Bang Bus episode, "What an Easy Score!"
If people bothered to use the FreeOnes search engine with the search terms "Alexis BangBus", this thread would not even exist.
I did search it. Why not just link it for us instead of being a dickhead?
You're definitely right about a lot of newbies failing to use the search engine. However, your search term was flawed. You get better results with Alexis AND bangbus. Using the AND will eliminate hundreds, possibly thousands of results.
No. AND is the default logical operator that connects search terms on FreeOnes. "Alexis AND BangBus" returns exactly the same thing as "Alexis BangBus". Compare to "Alexis OR BangBus".
You may want to brush up on how the operators work.
Alexis AND Bangbus is not the same as "Alexis Bangbus"
Alexis AND Bangbus only returns results where both words appear in a thread, not necessarily together. I know this for a fact as I use the search function almost every day.
"Alexis BangBus" ----- results=0
Alexis AND BangBus --- results=12
"Alexis AND BangBus" - results=0
"Alexis OR BangBus" -- results=0
Alexis OR BangBus ---- results=5000
Alexis BangBus ------- results=5000
It would seem that you are doing something wrong. Without seeing exactly how/what/where you're doing your search, my best guess is that you're not using the quotation marks properly. 99% of my time on FreeOnes is spent in the ID section. As such, I've had to educate myself on how the search function(s) work, and as you can see from the top 2 results above, the numbers are different. If you don't believe me, ask a mod. The results above speak for themselves.
You are not very observant. If you look at the original image I posted, the search terms do not include quotation marks. They are included in the text of the post in order to make clear the search terms to be used. As I previously stated, the use of AND is equivalent to not using any logical operator at all, as far as the FreeOnes search engine is concerned.
1 - 46 results and 50 results are not the same.
2 - It's obvious that you must be using a different search page than I do as the results are so different.
3 - I know my methods work. Otherwise, I wouldn't have amassed 16 million rep points.
4 - Why would you ever want to use OR?
We would like to make it clear that you can still post new ID request threads, you just have to click through to the new BETA sections at the top of the page.
Posting fresh queries in the "old" sections has been disabled for the duration of this trial. Some people seem to think they can't post threads at all, which is not the case.
If the experiment is a success, you won't need to keep clicking into it because all threads will then become one section, so don't use what is a minor inconvenience for now as a reason not to like it because it won't always be this way!
