Hey all... I just got a Pilot and I have already used the forums extensively to learn about my car... I am having problems searching the forums though...

Here is an example: I search for oil filter and six threads show up in the results (none of which have oil filter in the thread title)... Then I search for just "filter", 41 threads come up, including one with the string "oil filter" in the title!!

What am I doing wrong?? This has happened more than once with different topics. I tried doing the advanced search, searching with AND between the two words, and searching in quotes, and it still doesn't make a difference.

Thanks for any help.

It's not you. Well, it might be you but it's not just you. :D Welcome to the forum, congrats and good luck with your new Pilot.

Yes, the search function sucks. You can't do any kind of advanced search (Boolean, regular expressions, etc.) and I think the field is limited to 25 characters.

Use Google (and this can be used for any public website). Just go to Google and enter:

Thanks krygny.... I'm glad it's not me... (I hope!!)

I tried the search function through yahoo and it worked great!!!

Thanks again.

Advanced search function used to work great but it was never fixed after the last server crash. Oh yeah, welcome!
