OK, so I wanted to search the forums for posts containing the string
Quote:
net.lo
.

I tried entering each of the following into the search field: net.lo, 'net.lo', "net.lo", net\.lo, and many more combinations on the same theme, but it allways seems to return posts containing the string "net" AND/OR "lo".

Ideas anyone?

Cheers,
Paul.

Unfortunately, search requires a minimum of 3 letters. The "." seperates net from lo, so lo becomes only 2. The only alternative I can think of is to search for loopback.

You do it like this:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&q=%22net.lo%22+site%3Aforums.gentoo.org&btnG=Search

Look at the search terms I used.
