How do I do an exact word search? I was trying to find a word that is also the start of another word, but I don’t want the partial matches. Using quotes didn’t work.

Does this help in any way? Not perfectly sure what you are trying to do/find and perhaps this site is not what you need. But I have found it very useful over the years for doing partial word searches where only some letters are known.

Maybe it refers to being a veteran of one of the Badass games that were played here a few years ago. I don’t have that title although I played one of them (Badass Dragoons of the Highlands), so it may have been created for a more recent game.

Not quite what I meant. The exact search I wanted was “fema”, but it was hitting “female”, which I did not want. I did manage to find the comment I wanted to reply to by scrolling back enough and guessing correctly on the thread.

"fema " looks like it works for that example, though might miss things with punctuation immediately after.

Has something changed? When i hover over the cursor, it used to give me the option to paste from from clipboard. Now it gives me “dictionary” or “read aloud.” I can’t find a way to post a link or one-box.

Here’s everything you should need to know about searching in Discourse:

Lots of options I’ve never used.

What OS and browser?

I’m not clear what exactly you’re trying to do, but as you can see in the post above I was able to paste link which was correctly oneboxed.

Thanks.

You need quotes and spaces after/before the quotes? That’s an odd one :person_shrugging:. Hopefully I’ll remember that the next time I need it.

Ah. Stupid me. You meant here.

D’oh!

(Should have put brain in gear and realised what thread I was in.)

I can do it as usual on a chrome browser on my work computer, but on my phone (Android, using the app) it gives me that dictionary or read aloud option. Only started doing that yesterday. I have no idea.

I think you never joined the group.

Once you’re a member of the group, you can add (or remove) the title in your preferences, here:

I removed the title for myself (since I never played the game), but I kind of like that flair. I don’t see any way to remove oneself from this group.
