That's not how search engines work (except for Ask Jeeves, which is a pile of shit). Simple search engines don't parse languages well, and work much better when you just give them keywords.

This isn't Google, so don't expect miracles, but use words you want to match instead of phrases.

The search engine (like all search engines) also ignores certain words which are useless, like "a an are as be but for how in is it of the to was with".

It's not my job to explain how simple things like search engines work to the noob.[/b]
You said noob... [LOL] That's funny.

I stand corrected with Brent's previous statement...I was unaware that you can select a "match all" criteria.

Yeah, ask Jeeves is pretty useless...to simple in fact.

Well, with all this debate, I have learned more on how to use the XOC search engine (NOT just search engines in general).

Maybe, I'll put it to good use next time.
