With some search engines, you can add quotation marks to narrow your search down to sites using the specific words you're searching for. For example, to search for diesel trucks, you would type &quot;diesel trucks&quot;. A search of this kind will look for sites that are diesel related and/or truck related. To narrow it down even more, add a plus sign between the words so your search would look like this: &quot;diesel+trucks&quot;. Doing this will search for sites dealing with both diesel and trucks instead of just one or the other.

Hope that helps a little!

......Try a search on something easy first. Try the word &quot;diesel&quot; for instance. It's important that you set the look back period. I always use 300 days, and take the default 25 instances.

Besides the fact, Sir, you can't be a tard. You, after all, own one of the finest trucks on the road. ;D<br><br>~Dave
