in thread new super search

That doesn't work. I get "question" and "one" and all sorts of things. I want just the word "on".

    Seems to work for me... Do you see this text on the results page?
    where any text contains " on"
    written by any of merlyn
    I checked the first ten results and they all contained the word on. What results did you get that matched "question" or "one"?

      No, I can't get it to do that. I set "-on-" and typed "-" in the box next to "as spaces", and tried both settings for the radio button (which I still don't exactly understand, even though tye referenced a somewhat useless node about it).

        There is no "as spaces" on super search. There is a field for you to specify what string you want to use as a separator between search terms for which the "default is spaces". So type space, then oh, then en, then space (" on ") as your search term and set the delimter to be anything other than space, oh, or en. Or use the regex "\bon\B".

        Yes, I've tested both of these suggestions.

        Think split not tr. If you wanted to search for the following terms:

        fred flinstone
        barney rubble
        dino

        You would enter it as:

        fred flinstone;barney rubble;dino
        separator: ;
        NOT
        fred_flinstone barney_rubble dino
        separator: _

        ...I set "-on-" and typed "-"...

        He said to put a space between the letters and the delimiters. Of course, then you wouldn't get things that begin or end with "on"...and I can't get regexes to work either...
