Question about search in http://www.rw-designer.com/ - RealWorld forums

Hello.
I want to search for specific types like ".ani" file or cursors pack with related keywords without letting others mixed in. Can someone how to do it without using Google ?
For example: I want to search rainbow cursors packs without any ".ani" files in the results.

Unfortunately, the site's built-in search doesn't currently support advanced filtering like file type exclusion.

Have you tried using the category navigation instead? You can browse "Cursor Packs" and then use the search bar within that category. This might help narrow down your results to just cursor packs.

For more specific searches, you might need to use external search engines or manually filter the results. It would be great if the site added more advanced search options in the future. Maybe consider suggesting this feature to the site administrators?

In the meantime, patience and some manual filtering might be your best bet for finding those perfect rainbow cursor packs!

There is a limit on how much I can do with on site search. There is either simple keyword search or Google (as a representative of external search engine). I cannot emulate advanced features of a true search engine as it is very complex - there is a reason why Google is so hard to compete with. Consider for example handling typos, synonyms or related words. Very hard.

Try using quotes in phrases to search exactly what you want, or use a dash before words to exclude them. That's how Google search works in a nutshell.

For example, searching only ani cursors, you will need to type -.cur. If you want to search for only rainbow circle cursors, try "circle".
