Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but every time I do a search it returns results from both words I type, not the two words together. For example, today I did a search on "fuel filter" and it returned every post that had either the word fuel, or filter in it. On this site, that's a lot... Anyways, I tried with quotes, and things like fuel+filter, fuel&filter, etc. Is there an obvious search command I'm missing here, or is that just how it works? kindasad.gif

well try selecting what section you want to search in, ex: fuel filter would be engine, or general, and then just brows the listings till you see a topic title that sounds right, its really not that hard.

forum searches are never very good, you just gata get use to using em, and how to narrow it down by yourself.

1) Use the + symbol to require a specific word to be in the search results

2) Use " " to search for a complete phrase

3) Use Google to search only the 6gc.net domain (Good for three letter word searches.)

Using Google! That's awesome, thanks!
