    Hi all!

    There are times when I want to do a search on a specific set of words such as; "Tire Pressure Readings."

    Well, when I do this, I get dozens of results containing anyone of the three words in it.

    How can I search for this specific phrase so the only results I receive contain these exact three words?

    Thanks!

    You give up on the site search, go to Google, and use the google advanced search option, which allows you to limit results of the search to www.ferrarichat.com.

    The two disadvantages are that you can't limit the search to a single subforum, and you can't search the subscription-only forums because google can't see them.

    Try simplifying your search so for example advanced search in a model section for tire pressure and then scan the titles for what looks promising - two words works better than three - sometimes it can help to change a word so for example oil rating might be better entered as oil visocity

    Put a plus sign in your search like this, tire+pressure+readings and you will only get threads that contain all 3 words.

    Once upon a time way back when Google was just a baby there were only three wise men.
    As those wise men have had offspring of three offspring each, those in turn have had offspring each and so on and so on etc.
    Kinda like in biblical quotations where the word " Begat" is used in repetition.
    Thus any sequence of 3, can create an infinite variety of results.
    Happy search.
