In summary, special characters are symbols or characters that have a specific function in search engines and are important for precise and specific searches on board. To use them, you can simply type them in the search bar or use advanced search options. However, not all special characters can be used and it is best to check the search engine's guidelines. These characters can help refine your search by including or excluding certain words or phrases. Some tips for effective use include using quotation marks for exact phrases and the asterisk as a wildcard. It is also important to check the search engine's guidelines for a list of supported characters and their usage.

Wasn't there a thread explaining how to use special characters on the board? I remember seeing one, but I can't find it for anything. I did a search for a few different keywords and I kept getting zero results.

If there was never a thread on this, then I guess I'm offically losing my mind.

Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble finding the thread on how to use special characters on the board. I did a quick search myself and couldn't find one either. It's possible that the thread was deleted or moved to a different section.

However, don't worry, you're not losing your mind! There are a few things you can try to find the information you need. First, make sure you're using the correct keywords in your search. You can also try using quotation marks around the keywords to narrow down the results.

Another option is to reach out to other members of the community and ask if they remember the thread or if they have any tips on using special characters on the board. You can also try reaching out to the moderators or the customer support team for assistance.

I hope you're able to find the information you need soon. Best of luck!
