[QUOTE="Gary Gittleson, post: 112055, member: 3625"] I've been wondering if the search feature on the site could be enhanced. What would be great is if it could accept Boolean logic. That is to say, ways to force the search to include certain words and exclude others. Suppose for example, that one wishes to see what's been said about Series B Shadows. Searching for exactly that ("Series B Shadow") will include any posting containing the letter "B", as well as any posting containing "Shadow" etc. Very few posts are excluded from that list. Here's and example of the result of this search: ------------------------------------------------------------ [SIZE=5][B][URL='https://www.vincentownersclub.co.uk/threads/1952-vincent-498cc-comet.11923/'][I]1952 Vincent 498cc Comet[/I][/URL][I] [/I][/B][/SIZE] [I] Frame no. RS/1/10788 Engine no. F5AB/2A/8493 • Single-cylinder Vincent • 90mph top-speed • Comes with two engines • Found after 30 years sitting in a dry warehouse Unlike in pre-war days, when the first Vincent-HRD v-twin – the Series A - had been created by, in effect, combining two of the...[/I] ------------------------------------------------------------- The letter "b" and/or the word "Series" pulled it in. If the site has this capability and I missed it, I'd love to know where it is and how to use it. Gary [/QUOTE]
