Can you provide some examples of terms which returned bad results?
I didn't mean bad results, I just meant too many results, often that aren't very relevant.
For example, if you were to search for
"first post" to try to find only the questions that people are asking, you get seven pages of results, most of which do not seem to be first posts.
This seems to be because the search facility doesn't accept quoted strings - instead, it seems to search for
first OR
post. The search facility also doesn't seem to accept
- and
+ operators, which would also be handy.
Now, the example that I used above isn't particularly interesting, and a much better result can be had in this case by searching for
(first but I'm sure you get the general idea.
Using Google to do a site search by adding
+site:basic4ppc.com to the start of a search string works well, but it's less convenient.
