Basic expression

Postby Dave » Sat Mar 09, 2002 1:57 pm

This should be real easy but I'm having problems with doing this in NBP3.32. I'm using the subject accept filter trying to only find posts that have the words "we are the people". I thought I could use *we*are*the*people* but posts that it should be matching it is rejecting. I want the search to pick up any post that has all of those words, they can be in any order, anywhere in the post. Thank a bunch!
