It works as its designed, but I think as far as search engines go, it sucks. You gotta know the right syntax or you get lots of junk.

Slits must be taking his monthly bath. Hallelujah!

The search here is a little different than most, but it's not hard...

Clicking on the Advanced Usage Help link in the search page immediately under the search text field will give you:

CODE

Use                   Means
apple banana          Find posts that contain at least one of these words
+apple +juice         Find posts with both words
+apple -juice         Find posts with 'apple' but not 'juice'
apple*                Find posts with 'apple' and/or 'applesauce'
"Some Words"          Find posts with the phrase 'some words of wisdom',
                     'some        words' but not 'some noise words'

Another minor detail, it doesn't work with words that are 3 characters or less, like MSD, oil, or 911.
