Thanks, I suppose. So there is no way to exclude the "training" results ?

I'm looking for a story I've read, I'm sure the word "train" is in the title. It's about someone meeting again someone he knew in high school. Now she's a celebrity. It's not in the first 50 results when they include the "training" etc variations.

ETA I did a Quick Search for "train". The first 50 at least of the hits had "train" in the title and none of the variations. And the story I was looking for was on the 5th page. "Runaway Train" https://storiesonline.net/s/13709/runaway-train

ETA 2 Actually, it was the first 68 stories, after that "train" was in the story text. So "Quick Search" is more useful than "Advanced Search" at least for me this time.

BTW, the results listing for "Advanced Search" ignores the "stories per page" from the account setting. Presumably Advanced Search is treated as a special case (even though there is a "settings" button on the results listing.

ETA 3 The results listing from "Quick Search" does NOT ignore the "stories per page" setting

Thanks again. Don't remember ever using Quick Search before, I'll certainly use it again.

There is a somewhat similar bug in Quick Search. I searched with 2 words separated by a blank, surrounded by quotes. The first page returned meets the search criterion of only the hits that contain the two words together. I have 50 stories per page, and in one instance I got 1 to 50 of 94 hits. Page 2 however ignores the quotes and returns the hits for either word, and I got 51 to 100 of 1000 hits.

Thank you

As I said originally

Ordinary (not premier) account.

And "entire word only" is greyed out.

It's horrid these days. Progressively worse every time my account expires. Advanced search is almost 100% orange.

You get what you pay for. There has to be some incentive to try and get more premium members. It's for the survival of this great site. Showing what you can get with a premium membership is exactly that.

You can renew before it actually expires and avoid that problem.

If his original comment on the thread is taken literally, he has paid premier access but he lets it lapse every time before renewing it.
