Dear All,

In order to attempt to answer a question in another thread today, I am trying to find a certain post by Owen wherein he wrote about Truth. This post was made about one year ago I think (possibly longer).

I know how to search with one word at a time using the search function, but I do not know how (or if it is possible to search) with more than one word at a time. Can anyone please tell me if this is possible? I think I would like to search under "Owen" and "truth."

In Christ,
Rick

PS On a related matter, I am also wondering if it is still possible to access the Monachos Orthodox Dictionary to view definitions?

Rick,

When you click on "Search" and the little pop-up search box appears, instead of typing your terms in, click on "Advanced Search" at the bottom of the pop-up box. You can then type "truth" in under "Key Word(s)" and "Owen" under "User Name" (if you only use "Owen", be sure to clear the "Exact name" checkbox).

You can also limit the date range under "Search Options" to one year ago and older (or 6 months ago and older, if you're not sure it was more than a year).

If you enter more than one key word, only posts containing all of them will be found, unless you separate them with an "OR". There may be other rules for using that feature which I'm not aware of.

Happy searching!
Mike
