Does anyone know how to narrow a search term? For example, I was searching ARK but kept getting a bunch of SHARK or BOOKMARK results.
Ive tried the usual google methods (minus and plus, brackets, quote marks)

I unfortunately do not know the answer to your question, but I would love to know if its possible, too. There are many times where I have also wanted the functionality you describe.

As an aside, here is another Noahs Ark pattern I just browsed across that wouldnt show up in your search terms:
Dimensions 3816 Promises Kept

I hope this is helpful to you, and I hope you find great patterns that suit your needs!

Something else you could try to find specific patterns is to use google or duckduckgo image search for "cross stitch noahs ark" and then see if you can find ones that you like, then find out the name of the pattern from those search results to do a specific search here. I have done that in the past and it has worked very well. Happy crafting!

I will suggest to our tech team ... But I love our search tool

You can add words for searching :

If you search (not real name and serie number )  "Dimensions 34519 mother nature "

You can search with

"Dim 34" , "519 mother"  "dim mot" each one will give more specific results :D

something obvious though. Im not great with computers.  Post time 2023-11-30 10:45
Yes it is a great search tool. I just realised Noah was too specific, but Ark was too general. I made it through all 1000 results, and found a bunch of new stuff. I wasnt sure if I was missing someth  Post time 2023-11-30 10:45

The searching like "Ark" (sun, tee) is really very difficult, you must understand.

"Ark" -> Search -> Advanced -> Search Range (Crochet Section, Cross stitch Patterns Scanned or other)

If you add a little more "Noa", then the search result is only 108 threads related to "Ark Noa".


Smart searching

Yes, you are best searcher:))) ... Big word must be yours :)))) ... Thank you so much to little tip for users :)))  Post time 2023-12-1 08:25
Thanks Puppy. I normally do search for "Noah", but then came across a pattern called Santas Ark and wondered how many I was missing. I did get through all the Ark results, but hoping for a quick hack.   Post time 2023-11-30 10:39
