How to search for something in the Code Snippets boards ??? The "Search In Forums" listbox doesn't include tutorials or code snippets. If I want to find something in C code snippes related to "FILE", the only way to do it is to read each and every post in those tutorials. Would be useful to have a quick way to search them.

I would also find this a useful feature. It would also allow easier searching for newcomers, seeking an answer. If they (or we) could easily search the code snippet library, it would make answering question much easier.

What's wrong with doing something like this => http://www.daniweb.com/search/search...e+code+snippet (a site search for "file code snippet")

http://www.daniweb.com/search/search...y+code+snippet doesn't seem to produce the results I would like.

This was added yesterday but I forgot to comment on it. You can now do a site search and filter the results by forums, blogs, or code snippets.

I was kind of hoping that this search (or at least this one) would turn up this snippet.

Do a bunch of searches and tell me which algorithm returns better results overall, and how the results differ:

www.daniweb.com/search/search.php?q=QUERY&what=code
www.daniweb.com/code/search.php?q=QUERY

Don't try to reverse engineer the results by picking a code snippet and trying to search for it and seeing which algorithm returns what you're looking for. Instead, genuinely search for a topic (as most people searching would) and see which algorithm returns more relevant and helpful results.

Dani -- neither of those links work anymore. Have you changed the search engine because I don't see how to do advanced search any more to limit the search to a specific board.

But I did try your suggestion and entered "icon in c++" to get a list of all threads that discussed icons in the c++ board, and it displayed the threads I was looking for. So maybe the advanced search options aren't needed anymore.

Dave's suggestion doesn't seem to work: "strcpy in code snippets" or "code snippets strcpy" only gets threads in C++ and C boards. 20 pages of hits and I didn't read all of them.

The links I posted are broken - you need to copy and paste the URL and replace the word QUERY with your query.

Also, to do an advanced forum search, click the Site Search button without entering anything in the search box.

tried that -- still doesn't work very well

http://www.daniweb.com/search/search.php?q=strcpy in code snippets

was replaced with
http://www.daniweb.com/search/search...ode%20snippets

and still only got threads in c and c++ board
