Advanced Search Function

« on: September 29, 2015, 06:53:32 AM »

Maybe I have missed this but I am looking for a way to do an advanced search for a specific thing.
For example, I am looking for information on how to manually put the front tire on the rim without a changer. If I search for 'Install Front Tire' I get anything that has the words install Front or Tire in it, but now what I am looking for.
Any ideas?

Not Valkyrie specific, and I'm no wrench head so dunno how crazy this guy's technique is, but... something like this?

Put the search string in quotations: "Install front tire". This way all three of the words must be in the article. If your search string doesn't have quotes, I believe that it defaults to any of the words.

Thanks nogrey, I tried that. If the words between the quotes do not exactly match what is in the post, it does not find it. We need something like find 'this' AND 'that'. Something using Boolean Logic.

Thanks Serk, kind of what I used looking for. I seem to remember someone using zip ties.
