Search with AND + operator in title of thread

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the inability to use the AND operator for title searches in the forum, specifically for terms like "integral density operator." Currently, only Gold members have access to Boolean searches, limiting this functionality for regular users. Participants suggest using Google search as a workaround, although it does not specifically target titles. There is a call for the forum to implement the AND operator feature for all users. The conversation highlights the need for improved search capabilities within the forum.

Hello,

I am looking (searching :) ) for a possibility to use the AND operator, for example find all of the following words in the title of a subject in this forum:
integral density operator
integral AND density AND operator
+integral +density +operator. There is already a thread referring to google to search for these words in the whole thread.

If there isn't this feature, I propose you add it.

Hi, currently only Gold members can use Boolean searches. I would advise you to use the google search via PF in the search drop down. thanks!

Click the "Search" link at the top of the page, and select Search PF with Google...

Does that work for you?
 
Ok, so this is restricted to gold members.
Yes, google is a workaround, but that does not search explicitly in the title.
 

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Site Usability nitpick -- Hyperlinks should be underlined'

This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
