Hello,

Something seems to have changed, or I'm just doing it wrong. Please set me straight.

I want to search for posts that have a combination of words. Now, I used to do this, but now it seems to not work. For instance, I would pick 3, 4 or 5 words that I would want any post to have and show up in the search, but don't show up if one of those words were not in the post.

Now I do a search, and all the posts show up that has any one of these words.

What has changed, or what do I do to now make it work, or do I just wait for my updated prescriptions to be filled and kick in, and everything will be OK again?

Thank you.

Many times I have experienced the same, and have accepted the apparent fact that sometimes the Search feature isn't working properly...

It works fine occasionally, but sometimes not well at all.:noidea:

If the forums search engine isn't providing the results you want try using Google's advanced search engine and type in rotaryforum.com in the "Search within a site or domain:" box.

Yup, the Google advanced search works well, I use that often.

When searching multiple words: use no comma's, just spaces. I just did a search: density altitude denver .

PS Searching individual forums (Air Command) will narrow the search down.

Try typing in your query like this:

rotor + blade + incidence

Then select 'show posts'.
Click 'Search'
