jevansio Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 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, Ta Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Do a search. This has been asked before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 stick a '+' sign in between the two words - that usually works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Putting a + still drops the fc bit from apexi+power+fc, Thanks anyway though J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyW Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Jay, have you tried powerfc all as 1 word like that? brings up a few results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Yep as said if you want to search on a group of words or a phrase place them in speech marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 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, Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 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 http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial_s&q=%22Power+FC%22+site%3Awww.mkivsupra.net&btnG=Search&meta= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 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). Ta Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
