..... AND...... ?

Sort of, but that searcher for keyword1 AND keyword2 anywhere in the post not next to each other.

Dont mention the Forum clock.
I mentioned it once, but i think i got away with it.

The Forum Cock? (http://homepage.mac.com/jholzner/images/manwithhugecock.jpg) :hihi:

The Forum Search facility is pretty basic. It's a bulletin board, not Google.

It works pretty much as it says in the brief explanation text on that page.

Short words - below 3 letters I think - are not included as search parameters.

And yes, the AND and OR refer to anywhere in the posting.

This is why we like people to use meaningful titles and avoid text spelling - the search engine needs all the help it can get.

And viking, John Cleese you ain't.
