How to search for phrase?

Post by michaelbalk330 »

How do I search for something that has 2 words, and only those 2 words... for example "water temperature" or "oil pressure" or "metallic paint" etc?

Exactly as you did in your post; within quotes. Search for water temperature and you will get any post that includes the words water & temperature somewhere. Search for "water temperature" and you will only get the two words when they are together.

Most forum search tools are not very good. The forum software that Tom's site uses seems to have a better search function than most, but often the best way to search forums is to use a site-specific search on Google like this -> "water temperature" site:tomyang.net (<- enter this into Google).
