QUOTE(pillay2k @ May 6 2010, 01:11 PM)  is oil too short a search term? No. But almost every other thread has "engine" and "oil" somewhere in one of the posts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I've tried "engine oil" and got less results, but still way too many ... +"engine oil" +recommended worked somewhat better ... Sometimes you need to try a few combinations, especially with keywords that are used frequently. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) Andy CODE blue 914 Find posts that contain at least one of these words +blue +914 Find posts with both words +blue -914 Find posts with 'blue' but not '914' trans* Find posts with 'trans' and/or 'transmission' "blue 914" Find posts with the phrase 'I love my blue 914', 'blue 914' but not 'blue is good for 914' |

I tend to have better luck using Google. If you use Google's advanced search function, you can set it to search only in www.914world.com. It seems to rank the results better.
