Is there a FAQ or thread on how to get better search results?

I want to seach for discussion on - perpetual preference shares.

I have tried "perpetual preference shares"

I have tried perpetual+preference+shares

but can only get a search on each word separately

i.e perpetual, preference, shares

tried the advanced searching function?

I got five or six posts using it

Thanks winner,

I got those too using advanced search with results by post.

The search was not restricted to the search string however. eg thread PTM - Platinum Asset Management the only reference I could find was on page 3 "existing Commsec/ASB clients got preference over unitholders"

Is there some way to filter the search for a tighter result?

Found this in the Herald
I searched for. ''What is a Perpetual preference Share''
or you could try ''definition of a perpetual preference share''
