Every time I try to search for something in the forums, I will enter a few letters, the query will run automatically (without pressing enter or submit) and I will get irrelevant answers in return. Is there any way to avoid this?

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsPersonally, I've found that if I copy/paste the key part of the question, challenge, or problem into the search bar, the correct posts show up.
For example, in the challenge that you posted this question from, I would copy "A prompt dialog will open prompting for someone's full name. Use jQuery" from the the question and paste into the search. If that doesn't work, then I copy a different part... and if that doesn't work (but one of those two usually do), I will copy and paste some of the pre-loaded code into the search.
When you click on "Get Help" in the challenges/quizzes and paste in there, it only searches the forum posts' titles. When you paste into the search box in the Forum, it will search the title, answers, and comments for anything matching.
I hope that will help you.
Keep Coding! :)
