Can I use a multi-word search argument?
Can I use a multi-word search argument?
Say I want to search the forum for a topic like 'Zeiss Standard RA' and not those separate words individually. Can I enter a multi-word search argument? I've tried a couple approaches using single and double quotes, wild cards, etc. but can't get it to work. Thanks.

I think your problem might lie deep in this forum’s software
… I just tried a Boolean search and got this killer of a message pop up
The Advanced search option should do better … but I think this ridiculous tendency to ignore the ‘common’ words will over-ride everything else.

.Searched query: zeiss and standard and ra
ignored: standard zeiss and ra

Search Google for:
"Zeiss Standard RA" site:microbehunter.com
"Zeiss Standard RA" site:microbehunter.com

Unfortunately, the site's search engine wants to ignore many search terms--needs to be fixed. But, everything on the site does seem to be indexed by Google, so using Google with the site's URL included (you don't even need to use formal syntax) works quite well.
