I can't seem to get boolean search to work at all. For example 'timing AND head' returns threads with just 'timing' and no mention of head....

it's all in the wording. if you want ignition timing, or timing belt, that's what you have to look for. using AND does nothing for you. Searching titles only helps narrow the search a lot.

Try google search but limiting to rennlist:

944 timing head site:rennlist.com

the part in bold restricts it to a single site. I dunno if you can restrict it to a forum, which is why I threw the 944 in there (google adds AND automatically)

Also, i think for this site, it would be: head + timing

good luck on the search

I tried google before, but they don't seem to index the forums. None of the standard boolean operators seem to work (&,&&, AND, +) etc.

"timing and head".

i have no idea what you're looking for or trying to do and "search" doesn't either.

it's like google or any other search engine, the more specific, the better the answers/links.

Searching on pretty much all forums I have been on have been a little odd recently... I wonder why?
