When using the search engine here, is there a way to search on a specific string of characters that form more than one word??

Example: If I do a search for "back order", I get a whole list of results for the work "back" and the word "order" but these are NOT what I am looking for. I want those posts that relate to the string "back order".

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

This inquiry has nothing to do with the fact that all of the equipment I order goes on back order status. This is just a sample search criteria for this post.

The Google search will acknowledge your quotes and reply with things containing back<space>order first. The vBulletin search is pretty poor. I constantly get "no results" and then when I finally find what I am looking for, the exact string I am searching for is in the title (and yes I am searching titles).

Try typing "back order" or whatever you are searching for and include the quotation marks in the search box.
