"Search" question
Is it possible for the search function to look up only posts with every word you typed in for your search? When it looks only for individual words you end up with hundreds of posts that have nothing to do with what you are looking for.. Makes it hard to find what you need.

Here are the search modifiers that vBulletin search uses.
Allowed modifiers are +,-, *, >, < and ". All modifiers except * should be used only once for one word (in the beginning and without space). * it should be used at the end of a word.
Examples:
windows unix - will find messages containing at least one these words.
+windows +unix - will find messages with both this words.
windows* - will find "windows", "windowss", "windowssauce", and "windowst".
*indows - will NOT find "windows"
"some words" - will find "some words of wisdom", but will not find "some extra words".
Hope this helps.
