    How to search more than 2 words

    When I need to do a search on Google for more than 1 word, I would incase them between quotes like this: "Hello World". Google would then give me only matches that is Hello World. How do I perform a simlar search on a PHP website? I tried doing that but it broke up the words and returned all matches that have those words.

    Are you asking about PHP sites or vBulletin sites like VDR?

    Did you try Hello and World or Hello + World?
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    If you are talking about searching on Vbulletin, it has about the most useless search system that it is possible to devise

    I use Google thus:

    site:virtualdr.com "how to search vbulletin"

    which nearly always gets good results.

    I right click on VDr's Search button|"Open in new tab" and search from there. Usually works pretty well. Just left clicking VDr's Search gets incomplete results.
