Search is just using the first word of my search phrase

Post by seedfarmer » Fri Jan 08, 2021 2:22 pm

I am new to the MTFCA forum and I am trying to search for information that is likely already posted in the past, like, "Checking out an engine". The results are returning with matches for "checking," rather than looking for the entire phrase. I've tried using quotes around the entire phrase as well, but no change in the results. What am I doing wrong?

I can't comment about the forum search software, but I use Google for my searches of the forum. Just add "MTFCA" to your search string, for example:

"what oil to use mtfca"
