Are you trying to use Boolean operators?
Last search engine I saw used those was Altavista (everything just gradually became Google)
Maybe there just aren't any posts with those terms.
I wasn’t searching for “Kimber revolver”.
That was just an example. Hominy cheesy pops
If I want to find all posts on this forum with the word “snaggle” and the word “foggle” listed in a post side by side with only an empty space between them, how exactly would I type those 2 words in the search bar on this forum?
I know I would need my eyes and my fingers and some degree of manual dexterity and depth perception (and a minimal level of consciousness).
Do insert some hieroglyphic symbol between “snaggle” and “foggle”?

You literally wrote:I wasn’t searching for “Kimber revolver”.

You would just enter "snaggle foggle"
Are you putting quotation marks around it, like I did?
Just looked at another thread and found the phrase "IPvFoo browser extension". I'd say that's pretty unique.... Searching for it, with quote signs around it .... found it. Searching for "kimber revolver" also found results but only from this thread. That strongly suggests that phrase was never used elsewhere on the site. Searching for "kimber" gets lots of results but none followed with the word "revolver" (I only checked the 1st page of results).
Yes sir
I wasn’t looking for “Kimber revolver”. That was just an example.
Quotes don't work.
What exactly does not work? It seems to work fine for me.
Screen shot please. I tried it and doesn't work for me. If I put "Kimber pistol" in the seach field, it will not show the string of the words Kimber and pistol together in the search results. They show up separately.
Quotes do work.
I searched kimber revolver and "kimber revolver" you'll get two different result sets.
The search on BITOG is a very good and fast search engine. Before XenForo, I used google when searching BITOG. Now that we use Elasticsearch I never use google, as Elasticsearch is fantastic.
There are no instances of "kimber revolver" on BITOG, but there are a few threads with both words kimber and revolver.
