Hi folks, I just wanted to clarify that NO work around has been found yet to set the default search method to "AND" instead of "OR"?

I refer to the most recent post on this that I could find:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/forum/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=LSQLDisc&Number=71958&page=&view=&sb=&vc=1

No, I haven't found a way around that, but using:

+word -word1 -word3

works.

So if you change the search directions on the advanced search page, to explain the +/- syntax, you can get AND searches.

It works on the sites I've tried it on.

I found that didn't work for me sorry; it just returned all links with "word" in them.

I find +word +word1 +word3 tends to work but I have found that a really wacky thing happens when one of these words is something like in,of,the,on,all,and,or. For some reason when one of these words is in the search term it displays no matches! I checked that these words are actually in the links text and they were. Does Links SQL have some sort of search word filter somewhere?

Yes, Links doesn't index 1 or 2 letter words or any words in the "stop words" list.
