Search Question

[jevansio]

Thsi may be obvious but how do you use the search to search for 2 works together.

If you type "hks manifold" it treats "hks & manifold" as seperate words.

The reason is I want to search for apexi power fc but the search is dropping the word fc saying it's too small,

Do a search. This has been asked before. :p :d

[ChrisSZ]

stick a '+' sign in between the two words - that usually works

[jevansio]

Putting a + still drops the fc bit from apexi+power+fc,

Thanks anyway though

Jay, have you tried powerfc all as 1 word like that? brings up a few results.

[jevansio]

Nice one Dan, some reading material for me now :D

"Stick it on quote marks"

[Class One]

Yep as said if you want to search on a group of words or a phrase place them in speech marks.

[jevansio]

Quotes don't work, I did a search for "power fc" (in quotes) & it came back with no matches.

I know that posts exist with the words Power FC in them (together like that) as when I searched for powerfc some posts did come back & I scanned them myself.

Could those who have recommended using quotes try a query to see if it works, or are you just assuming that because the major search engines can handle such queries that this bb search engine can,

I don't think there's any way to do it as the database only indexes strings of 3 or more characters.

This works though, kinda

Thanks Jake, although not the answer I was hoping to hear, it is obviously not possible,

Is this something that could get upgraded on the site? (I assume the vBullitin forum that is being used must have an add-on to allow for "strings of text" to be searched for).
