I'm trying to do a search in the free projects forum for in the hoop things ...like the business card holder

Is there a way I can get the search box to look specifically for the words in the hoop at the moment everything I try just gives me hits for messages that have any of the words not necessarily keeping the words together

thanks

under the search words you enter there are two little circles choose the one that says search for all terms. That should help.

both are giving me exactly the same amount of results thats what had me puzzled

well if some one didn't put those words in when they posted the design it wont come up. I got about 7 pages worth when I tried the search.
also put in in-the-hoop and that will give you three more. Be sure to make the free designs as the forum you want it to search. let me know if you that works.

these are some of the ones I know of:
Buisness card holder
Roster towel topper, address book and recipe book
heart pin cushion
Bear doll, cat doll, cow doll
halloween treat bag i think she has a snowman one too?
tissue holder

that's what I have in my in the hoop folder that came from here.

now thats interesting .. if you do in the hoop your get 345 hits ... if you put in in-the-hoop you get 113 hits the top hole and 3 with the bottom hole

I've only selected the free projects each time I've done a search

something isnt quite right here but I'm not sure what and I've never seen it where you use dashes to keep the words together. In google you use quote marks

I used dashes because that is how people write it some times. They call them "in-the-hoop" rather than "in the hoop". Just a embroidery thing I think.

You could probably write it all together and get some hits to inthehoop

oh there is an eyeglass case one too!
card holders...mothers day, fathers day and graduate
and that cute tea bag, looks like a swirly purse.

still havent gotten this sorted out tho as to why its not working the way it should tho

any of the mods or admins got any ideas ?

It is just the way the program is set up I guess.

Hmmm sounds more like the setup is broken ...

if it was setup properly the search should have worked any chance whoever keeps the board up and running could have a look at it ?

thanks

Sure, no problem. We will let you know.
