"AND" instead of "OR" Searches

If you enter 2 terms in ECCIE's "Search" function, the search engine returns results that included either of the terms, actually expanding the search instead of narrowing it. Is there a way to have it return only results that contain both of the terms, which is what I suspect most people would prefer.

I think "search" is one of the things this site does not do a great job of. Phone numbers produce thousands of (mostly) irrelevant results. Putting stuff in quotes doesn't help much either. I think putting the name of the girl in the subject has helped some, but a lot slips through the net, and a lot of trash stays in the net.

Its a shame cos otherwise its a pretty good site. Content = great. Delivery = ?

search doesn't work in a number of ways on this site. (especially trying to do a phone # search)

ps. I assumed that it was actually that way on purpose.

Is anyone looking into this? Search really isn't working. Everything I read about vBulletin says that is should be working...it really depends on what you are using and how it's configured.

Wasn't ASPD on vBulletin. The search there worked just fine.
