Searching the Forum

[mike zahorik]

I have been having trouble search the Forum for things I want to read about. If the item of the search is only one word, it works OK. But... if I'm looking for a two word item, the search comes back with each word individually. This generally included a lot of stuff that is not wanted. For example, If I were to search for Rod Bolt, I would get every instance of Rod alone and Bolt alone. In other Forum searches, if you surround the word sin quotes then the two words are joined, but that doesn't seem to work here. It would be nice to see a listing of how to search some where. I looked at the advanced search and there is a little blurb, but it is not helpful. Put a + for word you want and a - for those you don't? Thanks Mike

Do a google search using; "mtfca rod bolt -tie" (this might do the same in other search engines too, I did not try)
https://www.google.com/search?client=fi ... +bolt+-tie

I do as Mark said. Works for me. Dont forget mtfca.

If you want to stick with the forum search engine, try putting your multiple words in quotes. Usually that forces the search engine to search for the entire phrase instead of each single word.
