For forum searches where you want a finer level of control, click on the search icon, select advanced search. From there you have a number of options, I prefer the Search Threads tab, but pick one that best matches your needsWhat I'm looking for specifically is the correct operator/format for 'and' used by these forums' search.
Ahhh. Thanks, this is what I was looking for!"refine my searches" near "get results" site:forums.macrumors.com
I use this custom Google search of MacRumors for that type of query. Works much better than the somewhat limiting built in forum search.

But thank you.For forum searches where you want a finer level of control, click on the search icon, select advanced search.

From there you can select what you want, when it was posted, what forums, and/or what prefixes. You can omit older posts or newer posts using the newer and older options shown below.
