Literotica searches

[Senna Jawa]

... frustrate me! Does Literotica's search engine have any so-called advanced features present in most of the search engines?(Not to mention unix grep with its Kleene's regular expressions).

Is it possible to limit a search to a forum, say to this forum?
Is it possible to limit it to a time window?
Are logical combinations (AND OR NOT) possible?

Regards,

Indeed! Thank you Lauren. Now I will be a search monster

Perhaps I could stop now and leave it at this. I am a poor software user. However, in general, not when it comes to search engines. I am pretty good with searches and search engines. The Literotica search engine options were in front of my nose and I still didn't see them.
