Could someone please tell me the proper syntax to do a conjuntive keyword search on these forums?
E.g., "pink" AND "lemonade"
No matter what I do, I seem to be able to only achieve a disjunctive ("OR") search (which is not very useful).
Thanks!
If I am correct, it should be to seperate your items by a comma
I.E. Pink, Lemonade
The forum uses a derivative of the Google Search platform, and this should help you.

As a College Project, I have to create an Android App for searching the SMS Messages stored in the device. for eg. if one types "hi", then all the messages containing the word "hi" are displayed on screen. I know that this is directly possible in the new Android versions but now I can't change the topic and I'll have create such an app and complete it in January 2012!
I have searched on Google and have found 2 ways:-
1. Using the Mobdev Wiki Tutorial and searching for the messages, which is complex and I have not yet used databases for programming so it is fairly new for me.
2. Using the Android Search Interface for directly using Android's search UI and make things easier and simpler for me.
I need suggestions on which method is suitable and what other options are available. And how can the SMS Database be linked to the Android Search Interface and the messages be displayed properly on screen. Looking forward to your suggestions and answers, if you don't have time, please atleast give links to useful resources related to the above problem!

Please sm1 help me wth my problem??,
If I use the Mobdev Wiki code, how can the code found on http://mobdev.olin.edu/mobdevwiki/FrontPage/Tutorials/SMS Messaging#Searching be modified to only open the messages which contain a specific word in their body? If the body is "Hi John", then would only the word "Hi" return that message??
Has anyone gotten google voice search to work. I know that it easy to type in a search request, it's just more to try it out since it is a option. I have tried several apps for voice and I nothing I do seems to make it work. As always, thanks for the help.
Hello and welcome to the NT forum, i just made a search here in General section and look what i found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458356&highlight=google+voice+search
Please next time try to do a research first! if you don't find it then post your question here.
I know the XDA search is not the best tool of its kind but by googling "what i want to find, XDA" should be enough.

I did perform a search using the search this forum feature and did not see a result that I thought answered my question. Maybe I didn't use good enough key words, I thought I used google voice as the key words. I have seen to many replies saying what you said not to do this first. But thank you for finding what I seem not to be good enough to find.
just copy Google VoiceSearch.apk to system/app
make sure the right permission
then reboot,you got it
Thank You. That is where I was making my mistake. In the post it just gave the download link and I was installing that is why it never worked for me. I an new to android, I still haven't learned when to do what.

I no longer see "Search This Forum" or "Search This Thread" buttons anymore. Without a working search function, the forums will get messy real quick.
EDIT: Didn't realize that it was affecting the entire forums... Found an existing thread in the xda-developers.com forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732296. Sorry about that, but searching for something without a search feature is hard.

just type 'xda forum' then your search keywords into google.
Not sure which rule I prefer to break - I tried to post this in the XDA forum as it isn't a phone topic but got told questions there break forum rules . :lol: and to post Q's here...
I wanted to look at the 1% Battery mod I have seen mentioned in a number of posts. If I type in '1% battery' in the Search for all threads at the top of page, & click for Titles Only, I get a listing of threads across the boards that have 1% battery in the title. As expected.
If I do exactly the same thing in the forum for S3 Themes and Apps, or even for Samsung S3 parent forum, the software removes the % sign and searches for '1 battery' which is less than useful given how many threads have '1' in the title. This happens even if I enclose it in " " which normally tells Search engines to look for exact text.
Strange... I'd have thought the same search engine would be used for all searches.
