Nic Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Peter, I posted this the other week about searching and there were a few answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 I know, I could not remember who it was and nothing within the search was coming up :-) but, If I can't use search 100% how will I find it I'll look under your name Cheers Nic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 Thanks Mawby for the below Well I just did a post search for "car paint" and only posts that contained "car" and "paint" were returned. If you were to do a thread search, however, then it will return any thread that contains any posts with either word in. So if the first post had "car" and the second post had "paint" then that thread would be returned in the results. So if you're looking for a specific post with all the words in then use the post search not thread search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 So if you're looking for a specific post with all the words in then use the post search not thread search. Still no joy.... I'm trying to find "GS300 Wheel Weight" but, nothing is coming up ? It's only picking up the Wheel part in this thread. (I put exactly what the "xxxx" is as a test) http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=28881&page=3&highlight=%22GS300+Wheel+Weight%22 within search, I'm asking for the results to be shown as posts as opposed to Threads - is this what you mean ?

mawby Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Yes that's correct. Do you mean this thread? EDIT - No of course you don't. Helps if I read the thread before posting it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 Yes that's correct. Oh, OK maybe the wheel weights are not on here. Do you mean this thread? No, I was looking for the GS300 rims that many have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
