Stinking search

if you want the search to require a term put a + with no space infront of the term

example +radiator

 

if you need to search for an exact phrase put quotes around it.

Example "torque converter"

 

if you want to find info that does not contains terms put a minus in front of it

example -poho

 

If you want to make a term optional simply type it in with out any modifiers

example support

 

If used properly this becomes a really powerful search feature.

Hope this helps some lazy bastards that don't search and keeps the search nazis quiet for a while.

Well defined, thanks. I think there is a thread about using search, I'll go look and see if they should be combined.

 

Yes, this search function is a bit odd and awkward, but I can usually find what I'm looking for by trying to define things several different ways/combinations. Just typing in tire definitely isn't going to get you anything useful.

You can also use THIS feature to block sections of the forum that you do not want results from wink.gif

 

*It blocks from manual search results, not just new content, as it says :aok:
