Question about "search" function

Hi folks,

Lately when I try to do a search that contains more than one word (even just two) the results contain only one word or the other but not both. This seems to occur whether I use the "search this forum" function or the overall search function.

Am I doing something wrong, or has something changed?

I'm aware of the 4-letter minimum word size rule.

Could this haave something to do with the addition of the Google search option? I've tried that but really prefer the "old" search function, at least when it was woorking right (or maybe when I was doing it right).

Help would be appreciated.

I'm guessing that one of the two words is on the "exclude" list. Words like Fender and Tele and Strings words that are super common here are not on the search list. This is done to keep the server from bogging down with all the searches for common words -- words used in 80% or more of the posts.

Ahhhhh, I see...

Thanks, Paul!
