Was linking to this and made me realize I should explain why I posted this.

Steamwake is correct about the advanced version and the first method I use is going to the advanced search. However, the engine behind the search is only moderately effective.

I actually did a couple of tests where I started looking for some rather obscure stuff and tried the advanced search and the google search. Google actually returned better results. The search withn results function is priceless.

Probably 9 out of 10 times I can find stuff using the built in advanced search, but then there's that one time that no combination of terms and parameters gives an adequate result. In those cases, google has come through for me.

I posted this because it's nice to have another alternative.

Neal can control many things with the forum software, but the how database search function utilizes submitted terms aren't one of them. That's built into the forum software.

SO if you hit a wall with the built in search, give this a try.
