Okay, I apologize for wasting everyone's time, but I'm stumped. When I use the SEARCH with "knife+sharpener" I get a list of threads (which is good). However, when I click on one of threads, I go straight to the Forum home page. I can't get any links to work.
I have Firefox & have restarted the program.
Thanks for the help & I look forward to learning from your site.
I use an identical forum on another site as the key poster. I don't use the "+" just the words themselves. No need to use Google. Just type in "knife sharpener" in DC's search box. There are quite a few threads that pop up and they all take you to the thread. Hold down the "control" button on your keyboard when you click on the thread and it will open in a new window for you. If any of that doesn't work, it is Firefox which is not always compatible with this forum from my experience on the other site. But it does depend on the set up and whether it has been tested.

Thanks, Bilby, but I specifically wanted both words in the post. In general, just putting two words results in a search with "either/or" results. For example there are many postings that have knife but don't discuss sharpeners at all. In some searches, adding a "+" sign forces the search to narrow results to post that have both words.
Thanks, anyway for the reply. I think I have found the info I needed in the Forums. This is a really great website - Thanks to all!
John (an89ag) - I'm afraid the vB software we are running under doesn't appear to support "boolean" searches from our search engine which would allow you to search on "strings" ... searching on multiple words will give you hits based on any word in your search string ...
