914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Search format for numbers

So how do you perform a search for numbers like 914-6 or 205/55 on the board. I've tried all the combinations I can think of to no avail.

Replace all symbols (not letters and not numbers) with *. So 914*6 or 205*55. The * is the wildcard. Meaning that will find anything with 916-6 or 914/6 or 914p6 or 914$6, etc.

I'm not so sure that's going to be the ticket. I tried searching for 914*6 just now. Got lots and lots of hits. Looks like many had nothing to do with 914/6 other than it being mentioned in someone's signature. I think searching for

914-6 site:914club.com

will yield better results. (Once Google crawls the new site change 914club.com to 914world.com.)
