Search Forum

I am fairly new to the board so I am somewhat confused on the search feature. For example I remember reading a thread on protein bars. Yet when I did a search it did not come up on the first page. It was on the second page. Am I doing something wrong? I would think it would be the first thing to come up since it is an exact match. Maybe I just do not understand this feature. When I do a search I usually go to the appropriate topic area and then type in my search. It is frustrating to not find somthing I know is there. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

It doesn't seem to be searching for phrases. If you enter one word, you are good, but if you enter a phrase, even in quotes it will use an OR search instead of an AND search.

If you add more than one word you have to add a + sign.

Example: to search for apple juice you need to put apple+juice

Hi, does anyone know how to do an AND searcH?? I tried using the + but it didn't work.

For example I want all posts that cotain the word soy and the word free

I tried "soy+free" and I got postings that had Soy OR free, but not both.

Any ideas? (I've tried using AND, and other operators such as & but can't find a way to effectively search!!!)
