Why is it that the VBF Search doesn't support multiple words. I always have to search in Google if I want to search my posts in vbf :afrog:
Say I want to search for "This is a music Player Addin for Excel 2003." which is the very first line in this thread...

Please see these snap shots...

Yes, it does!

Returns:

Edit:
There is a limit on how short the words can be though! I think it is three characters.
Ok Try This
Type "CreateObject" in the vbf Search box and in the name type "koolsid"
You will get only 2 links
Now type this in google...
"CreateObject - koolsid vbforums"
In google I get one page of results. How many should there be?
Edit:
In the search on vbforums I get three threads:

Ten pages, I see! Although, the majority of the results are going to show even if they refer to vbforums in a post, etc but aren't actually on the forums.Quote:

That is strange! When I click on the link I posted above it gives me "No matches found".Quote:

If you want to use Google to search VBForums, you should do it like below.
site:vbforums.com kfcsmitty
That returns everything that mentions on my name that is on vbforums.com and no other site.
I know it isn't an answer to your original question, but Google catches new posts on these forums so quickly there really isn't a difference.

Good point...
1. In vbForums search (per your post #3) -- 3 hits
2. In Google using site:vbforums.com createobject koolsid -- "about 999"

Ah, I missed out the "site:" part of the search.
