You may include special search operators:
`order:views` Results will be ordered by view count (as opposed to relevence)
`order:latest` Results will be ordered by last post time (as opposed to relevence)
`status:open` Only show open topics
`status:closed` Only show closed topics
`status:archived` Only show archived topics
`status:noreplies` Show posts with a single participant
`category:foo` Only show topics in the category `foo`
`user:foo` Only show posts by the user `foo`
`in:likes` Only show posts you liked
`in:posted` Only show posts you created
`in:watching` Only show watched topics
`in:tracking` Only show tracking topics
Example: `bears category:test status:open order:latest` will search for topics containing the word `bears` in the category `test` that are not closed or archived ordered by last post date.
<h2>Tips</h2>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Title matches are prioritized, so when in doubt, search for titles</li>
<li>Unique, uncommon words will always produce the best results</li>
<li>Whenever possible, scope your search to a particular category or user</li>
</ul>
</p>
