texte = Here is a question one of our web designers has:Trying to set up for the subcategory FUEL & RELATED (search link from a web page). If you are looking for a sender unit for a thunderbird, it works fine (searches for sender and thunderbird).But if your are looking for a fuel sender unit for Ranchero, it doesn't work because the words fuel sending unit were used in the short description (not SENDER). What I would like the search to actually do, is search for (for ex.) anything that has the word sender OR sending AND the word thunderbird OR t-bird But if I use wogroup1rq=sender,sending and wogroup1rq=thunderbir,t-bird it searches for sender or sending OR (not AND) thunderbird or t-bird I know that it is probably pretty confusing to understand if you aren't trying to create the search yourself, but if you DO have any suggestions, let me know. The reference doen't seem to go very far into detail on this one. Any help would be GREATLY appriciated!Thanks!-Scott Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
