Typing DCCD into the search results in threads containing the words 'DCCD' . . . shocking

Care to elaborate?

I just tried to search for 'importing an impreza' and all I got was a load of thread with nothing to do with importing an impreza.

It seems it's picking up 'Import' when searching for 'Importing'

Try putting your phrase in like this:
"importing an impreza"
(with the quotation marks)

Hope that helps

Still seems to be bringing back 'import' rather than 'importing'

I tried the usual variations such as: importing AND impreza; +importing +impreza; "importing impreza" with the same sort of results.

Please dont alter the search! After it became a %age related result 'provided by IB' it became worse than useless. This is similar to SN's original search and it is far superior.

Further to that, you need more than 25 posts to have an opinion that counts noob

I see your sense of humour bypass was a success

Try searching for "dccd" "rolling road" including the quotes for a better result.

I much prefer this search engine but one problem seems to be that it doesn't bring up any posts older than february 20th 2009?

Search for "oil" "dccd" in the Drivetrain forum and you'll see plenty of relevant info back as far as 2003.

I don't know who you emailed, but you should be able to post in Private For Sale General with no problems. You cannot, however, post in 'Cars For Sale' without an additional subscription (Plus membership or For Sale membership).
