the simple ones please..

[Hirez]

ok, I have read these threads soo many times, and I really cant work the simplest one out...

AND... OR..

If I want to find for example. the words "CSI" AND "proper" in the title (without being written as ONE word) what would the expression be??

and OR?

is that simply CSI|proper would bring any topic with csi OR proper in it?

THanks, its just really hard sorry..

Correct..."OR". You can always experiment with a small group.

You shouldn't feel badly that it's non-intuitive to you - it's a very powerful and potentially dense syntax. Frankly, for anything more than simple searching, it's overkill. The reason Regex is being used is that it's also used internally in the program. Adding it to the userset of tools is comparitively easy and efficient.

thanks. A simple short answer, which answered my questions

anywho, maybe I am blind, but it would be a good idea to create a simple guide, a cheatsheet BUT which is writter for Newsbin.
Example, if you want to find XXX name and RAR series use THIS
if you want to only find images use this
This but NOT this. etc.

I mean 10 different expressions would probably save most of the work for a lot of ppl. hehe I tried looking at that CHEATSHEET and its unfortunately not that easy to combine IMO.
