I tried searching the classified forum for both "914/6" and "914-6" but even though there is clearly a /6 for sale in the cars/rollers subforum both searches returned no results. How do you search for 914/6? It's apparently somehow non-trivial. Perhaps it should be added to the search help (where examples of searching for "914" and "blue" appear).

Thanks for the tip George, though that doesn't work for me. I visited the search page:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=Search&f=2 Entered "914-6" (sans quotes) in the search field and selected the Classified forums then poked the Search button. It returned: CODE Unfortunately your search didn't return any results. Try broadening the search parameters by searching by different keywords or altering the format of your search. Remember to use the wildcard '*' to increase the number of matches. Apple* will match 'apple' and 'apples'. |

It returned: Try it *with* the quotation marks. That way, search treats it as a complete text string. (Not sure if that will work - you can also try searching for the following on google (copy & paste this) site:914world.com "914-6" |

Before posting my question I had tried all of the following variants:
CODE 914/6 "914/6" 914-6 "914-6" None of these work for me. (Again, in all cases I selected the Classified forum as the search domain.) OTOH, Google has no problem searching for "site:914world.com 914/6 classified", it just doesn't realize that the date of the posting is important. |

Use the "Custom Google" search engine in my signature. It will only search the World site and you can use any character or combination you want (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Now that the World and Club are friends (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif) , I should include my search of the club site, Link   |

Just curious if there is a date range problem? Like the adds are beyond your current setting parameter maybe.
I know when I was searching to buy a six I had to change the date range to pull up old adds. Just a thought. |

914*6 works and will find both 914/6 and 914-6.

If you search +914 +muffler U get all items. Could it be the dash or slash deletes all items with a 6 ?

QUOTE(McMark @ Jan 4 2011, 11:02 PM) 914*6 works and will find both 914/6 and 914-6. Right, but it finds "914" followed by any number of other characters, followed by "6". I'll just keep horsing around with Google, Bing and other search engines to see if I can come up with a better search. S |
