Yes, I'm just puzzled as to whether there should be a space before the +, as stated on the search page. The results seem to be different, depending on whether you put in the space.
N Pinks comment??

My experiance of search is only trial and error, but I normally search

item +Item


Never thought of item+item

Use word1 word2 to find all posts which contain either word1 or word2.
Use +word1 +word2 to find all posts which include both word1 and word2.
Use +word1 +word2 -word3 to find all posts which include both word1 and word2, but not word3.
Use "word1 word2" (with the double-quotes) to search for an exact phrase.

That's what I thought, but not what Athelstan wrote. I suppose the answer is to play around until you get to know the system. Anyone got a small child I could borrow?
