help articles in general

Somewhere on this website, there are MANY 1000s of "help articles" re QB. How do I find just a few articles that are really close to a specific question? The "Search for anything" window gives suggestions but I usually find them useless. If I put more than 1 word into the box, the box assumes "OR" which gives too many irrelevant answers. Compare this with Google Advanced Search. I can specify "all these words", "this exact word or phrase", etc. If "Advanced" results aren't specific enough, Google has dozens of "operators" such as allintitle Are Intuit's "help articles" searchable by Google Advanced Search? If not, is there some "article on how to search for articles"? And how do I find it without having to write a post like the one I'm writing now? -- Carl

Hello Joesem (also for anyone else),

For me, there are 2 parts of your response that answer my question:

1. It's worth trying Google Advanced Search.

2. The playlist of videos. They are almost entirely for QB Online, whereas I use Desktop Pro 2021. But I might at least learn Intuit's "lingo" to help me choose the correct words to use Google Advanced Search. (For example, QB has both "Find" and "Search" and they aren't the same thing.) Also, for next time: I didn't add the words "Desktop Pro" to the text of my question. Therefore, to get better answers, I should put the words "Desktop Pro" into my questions.

-- I already knew about the Help Articles Page (not much help for me). I already knew I can post questions but I usually won't get an answer until next business day. -- Carl A.
