Hi all again,

Well after some feedback recently I have installed a few new search the forum options.

1. You will now see the Topic and Body checkboxes under the keywords entry box. These will allow you to refine the search to the topic or body or both. This should be self explanitary.

2. There is now a search box in the ask a questions page. This will hopefully ensure that people run a search before starting a new thread on an old topic. Remember you cannot interact with Archived posts (all posts are archived after one month) so if you do find a similar archived thread but need to ask additional questions please start a new thread.

3. I have added a basic ability to search for specific expressions. That is a search for say Engel Fridge Stolen (will match all posts with any of the words in them), Now you can say Engel+Fridge+Stolen and the system will only find posts with these written as "Engel Fridge Stolen". So in a nutshell a space character means any words and a + character means word+word exactly.

Hope this is helpful - Please let me know if you find any errors with this.
