Narrowing Searches in Buy Sell

[erniepayne]

I have tried using single and multiple word searches - i.e. I tried Helix and I tried Naish Helix to find what I am looking for. However, the site does not to recognize that I am asking for both words in the search command as I get a message back that there are too many hits and nothing is displayed. I just looked through ALL 6 pages of current ads, and there are not more than 2 or 3 ads with Helix's advertised at present. Additionally, this indicates that searching just with Helix should work? What am I doing wrong, or does the search somehow look at all past ads also??? Is there any way to use and "and" or and "or" in the seach box? Thanks.

Hi Ernie
When you click on Advanced Search in the upper right corner of the page it should allow you to narrow your search.

But I tried Helix and it seems to be too common as you say. Other words that are less common seem to work. I presume the phpbb forum program that we use is failing in its search operation. (Common words should be only those used in more than 5% of all posts.)

I can't help right now, but I will look into it.
