Default Well, for example:

I was looking for my post from the other day. The post was "Guys, help me find an exhuast that has the following qualities".
So I selected the correct forum (S4), a span of 3 days that definitely had the correct day in it, selected "Subject only" and typed "exhaust qualities". No results. So I tried just "exhaust". nothing. so I tried "guys". nothing. Then I selected "any" instead of "subject only" and put in AWE, and it popped up. ???

Another: I was looking for the number for Bev. Hills Audi (I had seen it in a previous search). So I selected "Any" , "Beverly Hills Audi" and left the dates as default. Nothing. Then I tried "Beverly Hills". nothing. Then I tried Beverly number. nothing. Finally Beverly worked.
Am I doing something wrong here? Seems it doesn't work very well at all.
No offense intended. I know you work hard. Just making a suggestion for how the site can improve.

Thanks for listening!
