Searching with "AND" . . . . possible?

Sometimes I want to find posts, or a thread title, using keywords, where the post or thread title contain BOTH (or ALL) of the keywords. Yet when I use AND between the words, the results come back as if I had used OR (and the search results expressly say it was an "OR" search.

I've gone through the FAQ, but it doesnt seem to address this. I've also tried lots of variations, and other approaches, but none seem to work.

Is there a simple way of doing an "AND" keyword search, to return posts or threads that include ALL of the keywords?

Thanks.

The only simple way is to use the Google Search option. You'll find it directly below the TDPRI search box. It searches just the TDPRI in Google and it indexes posts in 10 mins or less.

Oh yeah, I forgot about trying Google search instead of advanced search. Thanks.

But it takes Google 10 minutes (mins) or less? Or did you maybe mean 10 milliseconds (ms) or less? Never saw Google take even a second to complete a search . . . .

Not to conduct the search... to add new posts to their search database.
