Default Using SEARCH function..question??

How do I do a search to include TWO words, like "steering wheel"?? So I dont get a MILLION threads about "wheels" and another MILLION about "steering"?? I've tried "steering+wheel" but I dont think thats the secret.

If I could figure this out, I wouldnt ask YOU GUYS so many stupid questions!

"Google" or some other search engine.

This forum site search function has degraded to a point where its use is severely limited. A repeatedly discussed topic in OT, where I suspect this thread may end up.

The technical wizards at IB appear to be aware of this function inadequacy, as well as most of the site vendors; who along with us must be beyond disappointed.

Extreme frustration! I wish I could give you a better answer!

Until they get it to work correctly, try this:

By-pass the forum search by using Google. For example: steering wheel site:forums.corvetteforum.com/C3-tech-performance.

This is not my suggestion ... just passing it along from another thread. I have not tried it yet (I just saved it for future reference), so I can not vouch for it's accuracy. If it doesn't work on the first try, try a few variations.

Let us know ... and good luck.
