Is there a way to make exact searches on this forum software? I just went to the Intellivision section trying to see if there were any threads about the publisher Imagic. While I got some hits, I also got thousands of hits on "image" and "images". I tried to enclose my search term in quotes without any difference, and even tried to add keywords like -images or NOT images, but alas that didn't improve anything.
Perhaps fuzzy searching with soundalikes is the only type of search implemented? Fine in that case, though a little sad as many search terms that are unique in themselves but may seem similar to a more common word will get lost.
