Help with search function

Is there section that i haven't found that gives some specifics on the search? Like if i want it to search CC306 Dyno Graphs? From what i have seen it searches each word individually. How can you specify when you want it to search a group of words altogether as you have written it. Is there a section that explains some of this?

It is pretty basic, there isn't much to it. If you want to try an alternate method, hit the main page and use the search engine on the left upper nav which is powered by Google.

cc306 dyno graphs, if i wanted to search just those how would i do it? the search breaks it into 3 seperate words and searches for each single word. how do i search groups?

In other words, the board search engine doesn't work the way you need it to, but if you follow the instructions above, you might have better luck. Give it a try anyway.

cc306 dyno graph
cc306 and dyno and graph
"cc306 dyno graph"

All come up with the same results for me. I wish I knew of a trick like that which works well, but it just isn't advanced enough like a search engine like Google. I think it is one of the major downfalls of this software. Hopefully a solution will come into play, but for now that is why we integrated a Google search into the entire site.
