'Complete phrase' search in these forums

[RFH Reseller: sscs]

How come there seems to be no option to search for a complete phrase in these forums? Enclosing in quotes (a la Google) doesn't work either, which makes it difficult to pinpoint relevant answers to queries.

But the complete phrase option IS available for the forum FAQ. Doesn't make sense. Or am I missing something?

I can never find anything with the built in search, you get much better results doing a Google query like this, though have to wait a few days before the pages join Google's index:

site:forums.redfoxuk.com "Red Fox UK Limited Community Forums"

example

Thanks, useful tip. Seems to work fine for except for the private forums.

Warren, are you able to tweak the VBulletin search options to allow complete phrase matching on all the forums?

I still can't fathom why it would be enabled for the FAQ page but nothing else.

Hmm - this is odd, the forum uses MySQL FULLTEXT searching so should be quite capable of phrase search...

I wish it did work
