Search by phrase - APC Forum Support

Is there a way to search by a phrase as in "put quotes around it" so it looks for the phrase as an entity? It would really help. FOR EXMAPLE: I was trying to find "remove silicone" and got every thread with "remove" and "silicone" in it. Obviously I didn't find the discussion I was looking for.

Perhaps this is already here and I don't know how to do it?

Hi there,

im not sure thats possible, as the search is designed to return anything with the words in, that you search under. To change it would involve redesigning the search facility. Sorry

use google

type in site: followed by the site you wish to search

in your case

site:aquaticplantcentral.com remove+silicone

Note the space before the search term and the plus sign assures that you get both. Just cut and paste what I show to a google page. You can do this for any domain I think.

Thanks! I think I'll try it out!
