Default Need a little help with the search function

I need a little help in narrowing down the use of the search function. If I wanted to read about “maximum boost”, exactly how would I do this? If I just enter “maximum boost”, I will get everything that has maximum or boost in it. Is there a way that I would only get “maximum boost” together as two words?

Thanks,

Clayton from Las Vegas

Depends on how the software works ... normally you can put quotes around the two words, like on google, and it will search for that exact phrase and not each word seperately. Not sure if this software will do that but worth a try!

Thanks, but that didn't work. Any other ideas?

Sometimes you are better off to just post about what you need. The search needs some improvment.

Good luck.

I too am not very pleased with this site's search engine.

But what the heck, nobody seems to use it anyway!

Don't know about you, but I'd feel so useless and unwanted!

Is that "maximum boost" as in a Supercharger? Just for ***** and Giggles, try, Supercharger Maximum Boost and see what happens. Remember, the search engine is like a "teenager", ya' gotta be VERY specific, or you get the big "EL SQUATO"!!!! Let us know what your end results are.
