I havent figured out how to search for words only and exclude words within words. For example, I search for the word rig, everything that has rig in it comes out as the result, like oRIGinal, oRIGin, RIG, etc. I tried adding quotation marks ("rig") but it does not produce any results. Same thing with "series", it produces 0 results. Does anyone know how to make this work? Thanks!

I guess you're using the Search box top right? There is a more extensive search function just below your avatar top left. It's the third option:Home Help Search etc.

You can also do a Google search like this: "club.alembicguitars.net: series".

I use google - include "club.alembicguitars.net" as one of your search terms. If you use the forum search, make sure it isn't limited to a certain sub-forum, I find that happening a lot and just go back to google.

Another way to do a google search is to start with site:club.alembicguitars.net then a space and then the search terms.  This way google only searches our site.

I use "google advanced search".  If using our site search function, Harry is right on - you have to back out of the thread you're on to the opening forum page to search through the entire forum.

Bill, tgo

Thanks a millon guys! I will use the google method then!
