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:
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'.

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:
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 
Now that the World and Club are friends
, I should include my search of the club site,

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 ?

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.
