and keep getting a million posts of just the words alone. I have searched with " ", such as a particular curriculum, "Put That In Writing" but still get all of them with the word put, that, writing, in....

Can someone help me?

You can't. And it's frustrating and time comsuming. I wish Jedi Bob could work it out.

I don't know how to contact admin, so I thought about just making a post asking if it's possible. But then I figured, if it was possible, they'd probably have done it already.

Here's a trick.

Go to Google.

Type in:

site:www.welltrainedmind.com/forums (http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums) "the phrase you want"

for example:

site:www.welltrainedmind.com/forums "Put That In Writing"

The quotes are important if you want the exact phrase, as is the space between the word forums and the first quotation mark.

Yep...it's the only way (google). :) Most of the time, if it curriculum I am looking for, I don't even have to type the forum in...just the text names and this forum almost always pops up somewhere.
