(I searched this section for this and couldn't find an answer.)
How do I search for an exact phrase? I tried using quotation marks at the start and end of the phrase. (For instance, "French for reading") Unfortunately, no matter how I try, I get thousands of results. And before I start a new thread, I wanted to see if this has already been discussed.
TIA for your help,
Mike

You're not a C1 (or B1 or whatever) if you haven't tested.

I don't know if our search engine is that smart. But you could google search the site since the bot regularly scans us. Something like:
Code: Select all
site:forum.language-learners.org "french in action"

You rock, rdearman! I hadn't even thought of that, despite the fact that I use that method when searching other websites. Doh!
Appreciate it!
