I tried doing a search in the "Reef Discussion" forum for "reef plus" which is Seachem product. The forum kept coming back with every msg. with the word "Reef" in it. I then tried searching using "reef and plus" and the same result. How do I get it to search for the exact words(plural)not just the word reef?

Hmm... I tried it also and it seems like the search engine needs some work. Sorry but I have no work around to offer.

I think I found a work around that will help you out some. I tried it on your reef plus query and got three results, all of which contained mention of the product you are looking for.

I searched for: reef*plus

Since the asterisk works as a wild card, but the query is entered as a single word, it should effectively search for "reefplus," "reef plus" and any other combination of reef<something>plus.

Hope this helps! :D
