I don't seem to be able to find the search function. How do I search for questions with a certain tag or containing a certain string? I use an iPhone. I'm sure I used to be able to access "search".

Are you using the app or the mobile web site? On the mobile web site, next to the "All Questions" there is a very unobtrusive magnifying glass that took me a while to find. A search box will pop up, but there's no link to remind you of the advanced search syntax.
Here is some of the syntax:
[tagname] - limit results to a certain tag
is:question or is:answer - post type
user:me - find posts by you
title:apples or body:"apples oranges" - limit words to titles or the body of the post. Only questions have titles, so if you use titles you will only get questions back.
- What search string do I use to search a certain tag (namely, conditional-constructions) for questions with that tag that have answers by a certain user, namely me?Alan Carmack– Alan Carmack2016-09-16 13:24:41 +00:00Commented Sep 16, 2016 at 13:24
