Default Re: Search feature on the Forum

Surprising what comes up if you search for starter motor (154 threads) or "starter motor" (85 threads). The latter found what I was looking for.

I've tried looking for info using "Search Title Only" and other drop down boxes. Problem is we as a group tend to digress in many of our threads from the original point. I know I'm guilty of this at times. And so there might be valuable information in a thread that is completely unrelated to what you're looking for.

It is what it is!

Later,
Thanks for the tip!
