How to mult-word search
Anyone know a way to search a forum using 2 or more words - without getting hits on each of the individual words?
For example, can I search threads for just "intake valve" - without getting hits for every use of "intake" and also "valve"? I've checked the FAQ, and tried single quotes, and double quotes, but none seem to help. Some forums have a search option such as "use complete phrase", but not always. Thanks

Simple, put ".........." at beginning and end of the word chain. Works both in Google and Pelican.

Use Google search! Simply copy the address of the page you are on ( i.e. PP tech forum),
then go to Google. In Google, type site: followed by pasting the copied page address, and then put your search words after the last forward slash in the address. (be sure and put a space after the slash) You'll be amazed!

Here's how it should look.

@Porwolf: As I noted, I didn't have any luck with the quoting...
@uwanna: Yep, that works! Thanks! Is that a standard Google search thing? Looking back thru some notes, someone else suggested the same thing on another forum a few years ago. I'd forgotten it. BTW: It seems to work to put the SEARCH TERMS before the 'site:...'

i.e., It seems to work with the SEARCH TERMS before or after the rest of it.
Thanks!

abides.

Add a + between the words, i.e.:
carrera+adjust+valve which would return posts including all three words in any order. Quote:
