Was just wondering if there was a way, when searching the forum, to search for phrases? Like I just tried searching

"the girl with the dragon tattoo"

and it just came up with results for the words "girl", "dragon" and "tattoo". Because usually (on Google or something) putting phrases in speech marks seems to do the trick.

I got results by entering

+the+girl+with+the+dragon+tattoo

and asking for them to be shown as posts

"the" and "with" are ignored by the search

Just search TiBB via Google it genuinely works if you end it with "tibb forums"

I know of some forums that do somehow use google as their search bar, and it has some setting that makes it only website specific results, I think.

But I'd back this idea especially for music
