Searching Bulletin Boards

[zoobie]

I was wondering why, when searching here or any board, the double quotes won't result in the whole search term. All I get is a bunch of gibberish like I had never used quotes in the first place.
Solution?
Thanks

I don't use "" for searches, if I know what I am looking for and which forum it is in, I search by that forum, not the whole shebang. If I remember a word was in the title, I search threads with zoobie in the title. If I remember who started the thread, I will search by user name and use the keyword I want in the other field. Then I set it to search by posts - example - username zoobie, keyword weather, search posts - I will then get all the posts by you where you mentioned the word weather without having to go through a 200 page thread where you might have mentioned the word once only.

Make sense?

The forum search isn't Google.

Double quotes won't do anything because it's not querying the database for a string, but rather single terms.

Instead of searching for "best free host", seach for (without the quotes) "best and free and host).
