    Search function

    This might be stupid but here is goes anyway

    I'm not sure if I'm the only one having this issue with the search function, but whenever I do a search it brings up all posts or threads with one of the words I'm searching for instead of as a whole

    Example
    when I do a search for Brass Catcher, it brings up posts with the word Brass and posts with the word Catcher

    whenever I want to a search in the Market place, I have to do a search for the word Glock, because if I do Glock 17 it's going to bring up every post with the word Glock, and posts with the number 17, so it shows extra threads I don't have to see

    not sure if that can be tweaked to search for the word as a whole

    thanks

    Go to "advanced" search; you may have better luck.

        try adding the + in front of the words so it selects all of them. Example, "glock 17" brings up anything with glock or 17, "+glock +17" makes sure both are present. Using the minus sign gets rid of anything with that word. Putting the quotes around a few words is supposed to look for that exact phrase. Good luck, I still hate the search button. Thank Satan this is a discussion forum, not a database.
        With all this "gun control" talk, I've not heard one politician say how they plan on taking guns from criminals, just law abiding Citizens.
