Search function clever by half
Try searching for
IBM java
or
power jack
which are legitimate specific searches to limit number of responses.
(IBM java is a specific directory on my Thinkpad, jack by itself returns a zillion mentions of jack by itself including for audio connection.)
Forum software leaves out IBM and power.

Use Google to search this forum. It's much more precise.

Re: Search function clever by half
Are you speaking of raw Google or some link from within this forum?
Google is not a precise search engine because it is based on popularity of URLs not logical searching.

Re: Search function clever by half
Take another look at the link I provided, and substitute the words 'IBM Java' for other search words, then click on 'search'. Then look at the results.
Leave the URL preceding 'ibm java' intact, and leave a space between it and your search terms. Now, if you bookmark that, you'll have a google search engine for this forum only.
