Default Search function to allow

only finding threads with all the words in the search bar. Right now if I put in
"Engine fuel rail" it finds all the threads with "engine", all the threads with "fuel" and all the threads with "rail" in it. Just making an "Any" or "All" option would help that.

seriously, someone tell me that i'm missing something. Coming up with 245 or 247 results for every search is wearing on me! that or I'm spending too much time in front of the tube.

ya it's always done the same thing for me as well. Makes it a pain when you wanna find certain threads and it brings up 100's of threads that just contain one of the many words.

This is the exact reason we see multiple posts on the same subjects. the search brings up so much stuff even with broadband your reading a novel just to get to the few sentences that answer your questions.

Kind of makes the " Use the search button" comment null and void.

i agree this would stop alot of mulitple posting!!! When you tell anyone that dont know where everything is or exactly where to find it and you say "USE THE SEARCH" they still cant find what they are looking for

Not sure about on here but if you put a pluss between every word it should just serch for that ezact set of words. EX. Fuel+Presure+regulator. I may be rong but it won't hurt to try.
