Search Feature eliminates too many key words, making my search irrelevant.

I just searched the second gen section for:

Best Time Stock Turbo

Best, Time and Stock were eliminated, and I was left with thousands of search resulds for the word "Turbo"..

So,. does anyone have a suggestion on how I can find a thread on the subject i'm looking for?

If not, then My suggestion to the forum is that they not be so hasty to eliminate words from the search results.

If you put something in quotes, it takes that phrase to be one word.

For example, if you had the sentance: The BEST elapsed TIME recorded by a car running a STOCK TURBO.

If you searched for...
BEST TIME STOCK TURBO - it would come up, the search would see all 4 words seperately
"BEST TIME" STOCK TURBO - it would not see "BEST TIME" but it would see STOCK and TURBO.
"BEST TIME STOCK TURBO" - it wouldn't see that phrase and skip it
BEST TIME "STOCK TURBO" - it would work, and be specific

I don't know about this forum, but on Google you can add a + or - as well as quotes to narrow your search.

+ makes sure the page has that word
- makes sure the page doesn't have that word
" " treats the phrase like one word to search for

Thanks
I guess the best search would be
"Fastest Time" "Stock Turbo"
'Best didn't work so well..
