    Is there a way to search for both tag1 and tag2 so all threads with both tag1 & tag2 show up?

    If not, is there a mod at vB.org?

    That's not how tags work. In fact I don't think they work that way anywhere. However tags should also be keywords that also exist in the content when used properly so you could do a search of '+tag1 +tag2' (without the quotes) to find the threads in question.

    Thanks! Thought I was overlooking something in the search box.

    Yes they should use the proper keywords so their thread/post can be found again.

    People are making extremely detailed posts that take much time, are appreciated, and we want to keep track of them. Ideally they would use the correct words but not always. Even more ideal would be to have those correct words in the title of the thread so the regular search for title would yield correct results, and they would spell things correctluy (sic).

    We periodically go through older threads to find these types of threads, we really do not want to add another post with the proper search term in the title or body of post. We could edit the post but would not like to do that.




    That certainly looks promising!
