According your sql link, it seems boolean functions should work, yet they do not seem to for me.
It could have been a post about another topic that mutated into a list of kids books, and that's why I can't find it in my many bookmarks. Tunnel in the sky is the the book that most comes to mind. Ehhh... perhaps it was from a different chat dorum, but I don't think so.
No big deal. I'll make my own list.
Thanks for all the work you put into your website. It really is unique.

Hey thanks @noobster
It seems that I just have to add "in boolean mode" to the search and then you can use + to require a word and - to exclude it:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/fulltext-boolean.html
So I did that.

Hey, pretty cool, you can now search for phrases by putting them in quotes: "Tunnel in the Sky"
You can also look for the beginning of a word by appending the star character: Tunne*

There is a thread on here somewhere that was created a couple years ago or so. It was a reading list of books for kids. Everyone contributed a few of their favorites. I believe one of them was "Tunnel in the Sky", for instance. I'd like to have my mids read some of these. A few of them had a libertarian theme to them IIRC.
I have searched my old bookmarks with no luck. I've used Patrick's search function with no luck.
Does anybody remember the thread?
@patrick is there an "and" function when searching to narrow down the results? I've tried + and & and quotes "", but it seems the returned results are an "OR" function of all the words searched.
Thanks, All
