How to use search feature --> You can search in the whole posting or the subject only.
Entering several keywords while return all postings which contain at least one of the keywords.
Example: engine ferrari red
This will return all postings that contain "engine" or "ferrari" or "red".
You can add a "+" in front of a keyword which means that this keyword needs to be in the posting.
Example: +ferrari engine red
Returns all querys that contain "engine" and "ferrari" aswell as all queries which contain "red" and "ferrari" aswell as all queries which only contain the keyword "ferrari".
You can add a "-" in front of a keyword which means that this word should not be contained in a post.
Example: ferrari -red
Returns all postings that contain "ferrari" but not "red".
You can search for phrases if you quote it.
Example: "Where is my ferrari?"

I have never been able to search this forum very well.
For the query "spark plug gap" I get:
The search term you specified (gap) is under the minimum word length (4) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.
If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific.
For the query "+ spark plug gap" I get:
The search term you specified (+) is under the minimum word length (4) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.
If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific.
