How do I find specific questions...?

If I go to the "Programming and Design" section and search at the top of the screen for "Java", it gives me questions from sections other than Programming and Design.

How do I search for specific things e.g "Java, C, Python, etc" from one section only?

    Yeah if you search for 'java' you'll get a million hits related to coffee. LOL!!! You can search for 'java programming' but you'll still get all the hits about resumes.

    Here's a good trick. Copy/paste this into google:

    site:answers.yahoo.com "java" "Programming & Design"

    Don't add more words such as "python" because you will get -fewer- hits. (The "quotes" act as an 'and' function.) To find hits for other topics you'll need to do other separate searches.
