help with search function

[shak]

I know the search function on perb is great. However; I am having one trouble with it, say for example I wish to search an exact phrase
"[someone] at [someplace]", what should i type in the search text field ?

If i do "[someone] AND [someplace]", it will return me posts with both the keyword [someone] and [someplace] instead of the exact phrase.
IE: if I want to search posts with an exact phrase "Vicky in Vancouver"
I type exactly that, it will try to search the 2 keywords [Vicky] and [Vancouver] and return the posts containing those 2 keywords. However; thats not what I am looking for....

Blah, does anyone get what my question here?

I'm not totally sure what you're asking.

If you want to find vicky,who is in Vancouver, then use the advanced search function (click on search and then scroll down to advanced search) and limit the search to the relevant forum: Vancouver, Victoria, Winnipeg, etc.
