    entering search criteria

    I'm trying to search the turner's forum for D-Way tools and can't seem to find a way to enter that in the search criteria. Quoted "d-way" has no hits, and I think d-way unquoted is interpreted by the search engine as a minus sign. Any tips for this?

    Thanks

    Dave, I think a lot of Creekers are like I am and resort to a search engine search in lieu of the in-house search. I use Google and this search: site:sawmillcreek.org "D-way" returned a lot of results.

    Open Google's search engine and type 'D-Way tools site:www.sawmillcreek.org' in the search field. This will work for whatever you are looking for and whatever site you want to query.

    <search terms> site:<site address name>

    The search box in the upper right-hand corner is Google search. It does the same as entering site:sawmillcreek.org with Google.
    And there was trouble, taking place...

    Dave, just leave out the hyphen. Also, do the advanced search, single content - meaning you can search just the Turning Forum if you select it.
