Searching Forums Issue

Hey, I know this may be out of the control of you guys, as it may be the boards themselves, but I don't know who else to point this out to. Personally, I find the search feature on here extremely frustrating. When I use more than one word in the search, it looks for either of the words in all of the posts. Even when I use the normal search tips like putting AND in between the two words, or putting the phrase in quotes if I want that exact phrase, it still just searches for these words seperately. So when I do some searches, there are up to 40 pages of results. For example, a search for "switch panel" turns up 13 pages of results, 321 threads. But I'm pretty damn sure that the exact phrase "switch panel" does not come up 321 times. So I just wanted to point this out... other than that, I like what I'm seeing here.

We are aware of the issue, which is why we added the google search feature to the search button. It allows users to use a more specific search when necessary, including seaching for a specific phrase.

Actually, the search engine works very well if you know how to use it. The problem is that most people won't or don't know how.
