Question what do I use to search for more than one word??

I am looking for the wild cards to use to search for specific things, e.g. Pressure plate without getting pressure, plate. Help please. I did a search for search. Didn't help.

The search function on this forum has always baffled me too. I remember a while back there was a method described for using Google search within this forum, but I can't remember how to do it. I tried a search....

Pressure AND plate (use AND in caps as boolean)
"pressure" + "plate" (concatenated string)

Google is best if you need to search for two or three character words.
for example:
21 27 3.6 torsion bars site:forums.pelicanparts.com

Yep

Google advanced search allows you to do the same thing if you can't remember the string Tim posted.

You have to copy and paste the tech forum url into the "site or domain" field. This works really well for numbers as well when you enter in what you want to search for.
