The advanced search interface allows users to filter threads by the number of replies, which can help in identifying answered threads by setting a minimum of one reply. For those specifically seeking unanswered threads, users can keep the reply count at zero and sort results by the number of replies to prioritize unanswered discussions. Currently, there is no option to set a maximum number of replies to exclusively display unanswered threads. Confusion arises from the dual focus on unanswered and answered threads in the discussion. Overall, the advanced search features provide flexibility, but limitations exist in isolating unanswered threads specifically.
