Default Re: Search Help

A few *tips* off the top of my head for any of the bulletin board search engines (google, yahoo, bing, etc, as well)...

Adding "+" in front of each search word = each word you search for must be contained in that specific post (ie, you search +cat +dog, so the specific search result will have to have both cat and dog in that post, not just randomly throughout the thread.)

Using " at the beginning and end of your search phrase = search results must contain that exact phrase (ie, you search "cat and dog", and the results have to contain the exact phrase "cat and dog")

You can use the * in front of search variables that are too short (ie, you wanna search "69 camaro", but the software says part of the search string [69 in this case] is too short, so just add the * in front of 69, and search "*69 camaro"...you can even use multiple bullets [**] within some software]

I can almost always find exactly what I'm looking for on the first try using the tricks above...
