Search function

Stohlen · 10-07-2012, 04:41 PM

I have been attemption to search for alot of things. However when i put in a list of words and select search title only, it gives me search results for each word seperately, rather than only results that contain all of the words i searched. This is extremely annoying when for example searching "Rear Seat Delete" and getting search results for "Rear Tires", "CF Seat Back" and "Please Delete" all in the same results.

Am i missing something on how to search for words rather than just any? Other forums with exactly the same layout would just do this as a default.

As far as I see, there's no such option, unfortunately. However, you can try Advanced Search and ask it to sort the results by "Relevancy" instead of the default sort by "Last Posting Date". That way the results that contain all or most of your keywords should come on top, since they are more "relevant" to your search.
