Default Performing a search

So if I'm trying to search a specific term that has more than one word, usually I'll just put it in quotes when using search engines. That doesn't seem to work here however. How can I do that?

I agree.

I run into the same problem.

Seems like it's the same to me. Some of the threads will contain both words together like I meant it to be but most of them appear because of one of the keywords.

You don't have to bother with it. I still get the results I want but I just have to do a little fishing for them amongst the others.

I've never been able to get a multi-word search to function properly. No matter what I tried I always got "or" results, not "and".

I gave up trying.

I can't speak for Yahoo, but for Google all I've ever had to do was put it in quotes and it would search the exact words I put in the box and in the exact order.

I can't even get it to find CLE in the topic name. Did advance search, changed to titles only, and CLE was entered. I also tried with "CLE" with no luck either.

These are the threads I found the old look, look, look method.

http://forums.jetcareers.com/showthread.php?t=42690 (XJT New Paint in CLE ??!!)
http://forums.jetcareers.com/showthread.php?t=42633 (Flight training for HS student- near CLE?)
http://forums.jetcareers.com/showthread.php?t=40113 (Aircraft off runway at CLE)

What am I doing wrong???
