could someone please help me use the search feature, or direct me to the appropriate post?

my question is: how do i search for a phrase, like "american vintage"?

seems like if i do a keyword search with "american vintage" i get everything with either "american", or "vintage", which is not really what i'm looking for at all!

same thing happens if i use quotes.

thanks!

try "quote" marks around the entire phrase.

Quotes might work. But also try "american AND vintage" There may just be too many uses of those two words to get meaningful results. I just tried both and they yield about the same results.

The terms are too generic and occur in way too many posts here to bring any unique results.
