Been wanting to ask this...

Is there a way to do a search on exact matches?

for example if I want to search the buy/sell forum for a Dead Bow of Shelter, is there a way to retrieve threads with just the words Dead Bow of Shelter? Right now if I type that in I get threads with any if the above combinations yet never any with the exact match.

I think the search engine just does a search for "Dead" OR "Bow" OR "of" OR "Shelter".

Anyone?

I'm not sure, but have you tried "Dead Bow of Shelter" or "Dead" AND "Bow"? Bow might fall under that too short category though...

You can try searching with quotes around it. "Dead Bow of Shelter". Other than that the search here is fairly limited.
