First off thank you admin and moderators for all your hard work.

Now i dont know how much control you guys have over the site search function, but is there any way at all to improve it? Search strings i specifically want to hunt for like “duct tape” or “sleeping bag” are tossed for words being too common and the search will just look up single words rather than the complete phrase. It makes it hard to specifically hunt for stories that will specifically interest me. Usually I have to resort to using google to search rather than the websites search function

I agree you have to rather use google to search within this site

Hi

For those who don't know how to search this site with google, this is how to search for "sleeping bag":

<"sleeping bag" site:tugstories.com> (without the brackets)

cheers
