Search function issues....

Is there a way to search multiple items that MUST be included? Say I want to search for "Coyote Brown". It will find a bunch of stuff with coyote in it and with brown in it but I only want the stuff that has both.

I tried "Coyote AND Brown" but it just ignores "AND" totally. That's another thing; there are a bunch of important 3 letter words but the search function ignores all of them. John, can you just make it ignore conjunctions but allow others?

I would really appreciate some improvements being made to the forums search function.

I ignore the forum's built-in search function. It's crap (which isn't the fault of John and Mike).

Use this in Google:

Code:
site:opencarry.org {search terms}

If you want an exact phrase, put quote marks around it, like this:
Code:
site:opencarry.org "coyote brown"
.

Wow, you learn something new every day! Thanks Man! It's hard to search by username but all in all its better than the forum search function.
