Forum Search options (and recommendations?)

[tschock]

This is based off of a legitimate question I have and search I was trying to perform. Is there a list/location of the T205 back variations AND their relative scarcities?

So I thought I would use the Search facility here rather than ask that question (and get the curmudgeonly type response of "this has been discussed multiple times on various threads"). But the problem I run into is trying to actually get something useful AND appropriate when I search.

For example, try searching for something like "T205 Drum back" in the search facility. You get hits for items with ANY of these words, but I have not found a way to limit this to hits that contain ALL of these words. I've tried some of the usual search methods (plus sign, ampersand, quotes, parenthesis, etc) but so far no luck. What is the magic incantation for getting a search result for an item contain ALL words or an EXACT PHRASE?

I'm pretty sure it can be done, since the FAQ Search (see, I went to the FAQ) allows for the option of exact phrase, results containing ALL words, and results containing ANY words (which seems to be the default of the forum search).

If I am missing something obvious here, please feel free to use a curmudgeonly response pointing that out.

A ) If not, it would be great to be able to do the same type of general, forum searches that you can do in the FAQ search.

B ) At the same time, in poking around, it would be good to have a place for these type of "technical/user" questions as well. The water cooler area didn't seem quite right (and my apologies if this is where this post should have gone).

I thought it might be better to post here in case other newbies had the same question/concerns rather than just ping a moderator. Please move/delete THIS thread as appropriate.
