Searching multiple words doesnt work properly.Uses OR operator insead of AND operator
I am never able to find useful topics for my search results. This site has TONS of useful information, however, whenever I Search multiple words, it brings up treads with any of the words rather than ALL of the words.
For example I am looking for treads with words "narrow crown staples". It brings up treads with just narrow, treads with just crown and treads with just staples. If I wanted to search those words individually, I could easily do that, but I cant find a tutorial anywhere to force it to search for treads with all these words.
Does anyone has any tips on searching on here? Any tutorials? Any way to use the AND operator instead of the OR operator between search terms?

Re: Searching multiple words doesnt work properly.Uses OR operator insead of AND oper
I've had the same problem ever since the "anonymous" hack. Seems the new upgrade to vBulletin has some sort of default search for each word, instead of for combinations.
The only decent workaround I've discovered is to use google. Type in "site: pwctoday.com narrow crown staples" and it will only show threads containing your combination of words.
Downside is it isn't current, so recent threads (like this one) won't show up for a few days, until the google spider gets around to crawling thru here again....
EDIT: I had to put a space in between the "site:" and the "pwctoday.com" or else it gives me a stupid emoticon; but don't put that space into the google search, or it doesn't work.

Oh yea, I tried the google site search and it works. Kinda annoying, but I guess its a good work around. I didnt know about the "anonymous hack". That sucks....
