Searching issues on forum

[hatch789]

Hi Guys,

I am finding it difficult to search for specific things that I want. It appears that the search function on this forum uses OR logic for all searches no matter what you do.

I have tried enclosing my phrase in quotes, I have tried using ampersand (&) between keywords. I have tried plus (+) between keywords. I have tried (and) between keywords.

Nothing seems to help. How can I search for a phrase or set of keywords.

Example I'm looking for "fuel line" or fuel and line ...I want BOTH words to be present in either the content or title to show up as a hit on my search.
I don't want just any old hit on fuel or line. These produce a TON of extra hits that I don't care to see.

Any help here or advice would be appreciated!

Use Google search, like this:

site:tractorbynet.com deere sickle

Are you using the Google custom search at the top of the page?

Both fuel + line and fuel & line work for me.

Search for the forums actually do suck..

I believe, in the Google box, you can also enclose you phrase in " marks.

The specific TBN advanced search certainly needs a "phrase" option.

OK yes google works if I want to search the entire tractorbynet forum site.
But if I'm only interested in searching Ford Vintage Tractors for instance. That's when I can't do what I want to do.

Use fuel + line site:tractorbynet.com/forums/ford-vintage-tractors/ within Google.
