Hi,
I was trying to search for "C++" in the forum (advanced search) but the problem is that + is used for something else.
I tried
c++
"c++"
[c++]
c\+\+
anyone knows how?
thanks,
Francisco

My understanding is that you can't without modifying phpBB's search code....
Use google to search Ogre3d forums, results are typically better that way.

Yep, either in Google itself, or the handy "Google Custom Search" at the top right (under FAQ | Members | Kudoslist etc. etc., i.e.,
NOT the "Search..." one at the very top right) type in the following as a search entry:
I get a huge list of forum posts about C++ from that.

Yes. I will use google then...
But my question was how to do it in the forum advanced search. The answer seems to be that is not possible.
I was hoping to do it using the advanced search of the forum. I like it better to search posts.

Most forums (including this one I'm pretty sure) don't allow three letter searches anyway, even if all the characters are valid.
I prefer the forum search too, when it works.
