Default Search Problem?

Is it just me or is anybody else having a problem with "search" ? When I search for something, all sorts of posts turn up irrelevent to my search topic?

You're going to get moved to the Help Forum but, are you using Advanced Search or just the regular? Advanced is working for me right now.

Try doing a Google search and add "site:corvetteforum.com" to the end. That works much better.

Advanced search works okay for me. If you're using phrases instead of words, put the phrase in double quotes.

I'm having the same issue. I'm searching for a thread a guy wrote comparing several different cars including a 911, elise, and corvette. When I search for "corvette elise 911" without quotes, I get all kinds of threads with NONE of those words in them. I was using advanced search.

When you did a search before, it used the AND feature. Now it uses the OR feature.

ie....

If you search for "manual transmission" you will get hits for OWNERS MANUAL and you will get hits for RPM AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION since it pulls every post that has EITHER term in it.

Before it would only pull up posts that contained BOTH WORDS.

This is a simple switch in the software. Please change it back to AND instead of OR.

OR... EVEN BETTER... give us the choice in the advanced search area. I know that this may require more work and take time. However, fixing the current issue is literally as easy as flipping a switch.
