The easiest way to search on this forum is select your language pair from the drop-down menu, i.e.
EN⇄EL for
English Greek or
Greek for Greek monolingual queries.
Using
quotation marks when you are searching for a phrase bypasses the error when single characters are contained in the search phrase (i.e. the word "a"). Hence, it is ideal for searching phrases. If you do not want to use quotation marks, and in order to increase the possibility of finding a match, simply omit one-letter words or pronouns. For example, instead of searching
watch your language you can search for
watch language (which would match both
watch your language and
watch one's language if they exist); also, instead of searching
catch a nap, you can use
catch nap as search words (which would match both
catch a nap and
catch napping if they exist). I guess you catch the drift (pun intended).
Also, we
highly recommend using the
Magic search option from the Translatum
Search tools tab on the left or the
EN-EL MS option from the search dropdown. This tool provides results from numerous online sources (including this forum) in a single page format.
