Any way to make search criteria more specific?

[The Californian]

I was wondering if there is any way to isolate a search to get better suited results? For example, if I want to search thread titles alone for "Apple Tablet", is there anyway that I can exclude all of results that solely have that phrase in the body and not in the title? Thanks - Eric

Use mroogle.

Contrary to what most people say, I believe that the search here works pretty well. In the advanced search, you can limit your searches to just thread titles, or certain subforums, or from a specific (or many specific) poster(s).

I'm a pretty avid MRoogle proponent and have spoken with edesignuk about this and he told me that this isn't possible through MRoogle.

I didn't even know there was an Advanced Search option here, the only way I found it was by clicking the "Search Forums" button with an empty search field. I wonder why there isn't a link to go advanced from within search results?

The navigation bar on every forum page contains a "Search" Javascript menu that links directly to the Advanced Search page.

I've actually used the built in search a lot more as of late since google/mroogle doesn't have moderator privileges and can't search certain areas. Now that I'm used to it, the built in search isn't all that bad. I can usually get the same search from it that a Mroogle search would turn up. Or close enough that it doesn't matter.

On the Advanced Search page:

Have you ever been in the mall parking lot and have someone ask you where the mall is? Yah, I'm that guy.
